The covered market covers the area between Cornmarket and Turl Sreet and Market Street and High Street. The current layout of the market dates from the 18th Century although a market has existed in Oxford since at least the 12th Century. The covered market was createddue to a desire to move stalls off the busy streets and into one central area.
It may seem unbelievable that this area once contained over a hundred stalls but originally the shops were much smaller with tiny fronts. Only a few shops remain in the market at the original size.
