The farmers' market in Deddington is one of the most successful in Oxfordshire, taking over both the market square and the inside of the parish church on the fourth Saturday in each month. Deddington was once an important town. Its first markets were held in the 14th Century but died out in 1830. The annual Pudding Pie Fair, at which livestock was sold and farm workers and servants were hired, took place in October from 1392 to the 1930s. |
