Notes about this historic site
1 In 1341 Ralph, afterwards created Earl of Stafford, was granted a weekly market at Tysoe.
2 It was thought that the market was in the field at the above grid reference. In this field are various amorphous earthworks and a large flat rectangular area adjacent to the junction of two present day roads. The base of a market cross has been located in this field (PRN 2059). Part of the field is now two tarmac tennis courts.
