anybody on here going?
Horse Fair - next held Thursdays 10th May & 25th October 2007.
The right to hold a weekly market on Thursdays in Stow was granted in 1107 by Henry I to Evesham Abbey, owners of nearby Maugersbury Manor, and in 1126, Henry decreed that the dues should be paid directly to the Abbey and not to the Manor. Then in 1330, Edward III granted a 7-day fair in August. In 1476, Edward IV replaced this with two 5-day fairs, two days before and two days after the feast of St Philip and St James in May, and similarly in October on the feast of St Edward the Confessor.
