Timber-framed Market Cross House was rebuilt circa 1688 when it formed part of a butchers’ row
or shambles. Its crooked lean is thought to be due to structural alterations around 1718. The old stone cross at the front marks the former medieval market place.

Windsor Castle
In the late 1060s a timber and earth fortress was built by William the Conqueror on the chalk hill overlooking the river Thames, as part of a ring of defences around London. In 1170 King Henry II replaced this with stone buildings. Today’s castle is the result of centuries of rebuilding, extending and refurbishment by Britain’s Kings and Queens. Much is open to the public most days of the year. It is an official residence of The Queen who stays for extended weekends and sometimes longer.
Collecters gather outside the tea rooms next to the Guildhall for the start of the walk.
In 2005 Prince Charles married Camilla at the Guildhall, built by Sir Christopher Wren in 1689. To the right are cobbled streets from the 1600s. Just left is The Castle Hotel, venue for Hazle’s 15th Anniversary in 2005 with antiques expert Eric Knowles.
