Full Description: The Corn Exchange, built in 1866, replaced four cottages where the south side of the High Street meets the Square. It was an open hall, ninety feet long and thirty-four feet wide, divided into individual stalls for corn exchange. Corn markets were held on alternate Wednesdays. The hall was used for meetings, concerts, plays and even circuses. In the 1880s it was the headquarters of the 3rd Hampshire Volunteers. In 1873 when St Peter’s Church was being restores, some services were held in the hall. In the early 1930s it was converted into shops with rooms above.
