Brief description

"Built in the early 16th century, little is known about the early history of Horndon's Woolmarket apart from the fact that it belonged to the manor of Arden Hall. A manor was an area of land owned by the crown but granted to noblemen by the king in return for the providing of services such as men, horses and weaponry, if and when needed.

The Horndon estates were inherited by Sir John Shaa from his cousin Hugh Shaa in 1491. 10 years later, Sir John Shaa was Mayor of London, and in this role he officially greeted Catherine of Aragon when she arrived from Spain.

It is not certain, but it seems probable that John Shaa established the idea of having a Wool Market House in Horndon. He held the manor of Arden Hall and was licensed to trade in wool and woollen cloth. He died in 1503, however, and was succeeded by his son Edmund, whom – it is assumed – lived to see the Woolmarket built and to witness it in operation."
