Our Story

Lincoln’s market has a long and varied history. It began in the 16th Century when women would sell their wares of butter, milk, poultry and eggs at the Butter Cross on Newland.

In 2023 the Grade II listed Market underwent extensive redevelopment, with investment from Historic England through the High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) scheme, and a successful bid for funding through the Be Lincoln Town Deal.
