Summary
West Teignmouth was granted a market and fair in 1256. It is suggested that the original medieval market may have been held near St. James church. Teign Street, however, was previously known as Old Market Street and is presumed to be the location of a street market throughout the medieval period but it does not seem to have survived into the post medieval period.
