About Trowbridge
At the time of the Domesday Book (1086) Trowbridge was a typical village with a population of about 120. However during the 12th century Trowbridge became a focal point for the surrounding villages. In 1200 the Lord of the Manor was granted the right to hold markets in Trowbridge and it grew into a small town.
As well as weekly markets Trowbridge had an annual fair. In the Middle Ages fairs were like markets but they were held only once a year and they attracted buyers and sellers from a wide area.
By the early 12th century a castle was erected at Trowbridge. It was first recorded in 1139 when it was besieged during a civil war.
At first Trowbridge was a farming settlement but by from the 14th century it was a centre of the wool industry. In 1540 a man named Leland said that Trowbridge 'flourished by drapery.' There was also a leather tanning industry in Trowbridge. To us Trowbridge would seem tiny. In 1500 it probably had a population of no more than 1,000. However settlements were very small in those days.
In the late 17th and 18th centuries Trowbridge grew much larger. By the mid-18th century Trowbridge probably had a population of about 3,000. It was a prosperous town due to the wool industry. In 1700 an Act of Parliament set up a body of men called Commissioners with powers to pave, clean and light the streets of Trowbridge.
Blind House was built in 1757 to hold prisoners. Polebarn House was built in 1789. Rodney House followed in 1790.
