About Fencing in Wokingham
Wokingham in Berkshire was first recorded in 1146 and takes its name from an Old English phrase meaning the homestead of the followers of a man called Wocca, likely a Saxon lord who also held land at nearby Wokefield and Woking. The town received its first market charter in 1219, with Elizabeth I later granting a fuller charter in 1583, and Wokingham has held a Tuesday market ever since, a tradition stretching back some 800 years. A number of trades supported the town's growth over the centuries, from meat and leather working to a silk industry that flourished in the late 16th and 17th centuries, and the surviving 15th century Overhangs on Peach Street and timber framed buildings on Rose Street still reflect this long trading history today.
