The Market Hall and New Inn in Pembridge, Herefordshire

Pembridge

Pembridge is a village in Herefordshire sitting on the south side of the River Arrow. This village is the jewel amongst Hereforddshire's famed "Black and White Villages". It has a history stretching back at least eight hundred years and is notable for its many timber-framed buildings.

Pembridge gained a royal charter allowing it to hold a market and two fairs in 1239. During the Middle Ages, the Cowslip Fair (held every May) and the Woodcock Fair (held in November) were important hiring fairs for labourers from across the county. (Read more)
