Church Street's

|
From medieval times the adjoining towns Kingsbridge and Dodbrooke were centres for trade and commerce.
When Kingsbridge grew in relative importance in the nineteenth century their cattle markets combined.
Other than during a period of the 'cattle plague' livestock markets were here at the Market Cross on the southern end of Church Street until 1922. This garden was redesigned in 2010 and replanted by members of the local church street community. The painted animals are a reminder that livestock was bought and sold on this site by past generations.
