Sunday Markets Before the Conquest in England
Sunday markets existed in England before the conquest with St Germans Cornwall hosting one under Domesday. Markets later formed in Bradford Worcester Battle Launceston Durham Lancashire Lincolnshire and the practice persisted into Henry VII era. 1206 Launceston paid for a license to move to Thursday and Battle did similarly. Parliament banned fairs in 1449 but some continued until 1800 as Cumberland butchers sold near churches and worshipers carried joints to church. London market day change followed the church’s plea to prevent this.

Remains of pioneer Dave Woodard found near Mud Springs
Skeleton unearthed in a canyon near Mud Springs north of Elgin is believed to be Dave Woodard, tollgate keeper at Woodard's Station who vanished in winter 1899 after attempting to return to Elgin with supplies. Believed by locals to be the long-missing pioneer, his bones were found by George Garwood and Bailey Shelton while searching for a spring. Woodard lived at the mountain summit between Milton and Summerville and operated the toll road for years, a figure well known in Walla Walla and Umatilla counties. The discovery follows decades of search efforts as storms and deep snow thwarted recoveries.
