History
Originally an Anglo-Saxon village, Bingham was already almost 1000 years old when, in the year 1314 Alice de Bingham, widow of the Lord of the Manor, claimed the right to hold a market there every Thursday. The market is still held on Thursdays, although the Butter Cross around which it is held is a relative newcomer dating back to just 1861.
