Local businesses in Shefford

Shefford’s market history dates to a charter granted in 1225, followed by permission for an annual fair in 1312. Its name recalls the sheep ford around which the settlement grew. The Porch in North Bridge Street, dating from the fifteenth or sixteenth century, is one surviving link to that past. The town council’s account traces a small settlement developing gradually into the market town seen today.
