1087. _Necessity to change the day of the market at Hoxne in Suffolk._

Ailmarus, the bishop, held Hoxne in the time of King Edward.... In this

manor there was a market in the time of King Edward and afterwards.

William the king came, and the market was held on Sunday. And William

Malet made his castle at Eye; and on the same day on which there was a

market in the bishop's manor, William Malet made another market in his

castle, and that so much to the detriment of the bishop's market that

this was of little worth. Now therefore it is held on Friday, but the

market of Eye still takes place on Sunday.
