Watford Observer:

The history of the market dates back to the 12th Century when the Abbot of St Albans was granted a charter to hold a weekly market in the town, the website ourwatfordhistory.org states.

It was held in the market place, the area next to St Mary's Church, until 1928 when it moved into what became Charter Place.

Watford Observer:

It moved into its current location near the flyover in 2014.
