Mansfield's market charter was first granted in
1227 and there's been a market in the town ever since. On main market
days there are over 230 stalls.
At the centre of the Market Place is the Bentinck
Memorial which was built in 1849 in memory of Lord George Bentinck,
the younger son of the fourth Duke of Portland.
The memorial was never completed because money
raised through public subscription ran out before the statue of
Lord Bentinck could be placed in the middle.
Buildings that you can see around the Market Place
include the Town Hall (1836) and the Moot Hall on the Westgate (1752).
