The key node of the town centre. No longer used for 'proper' markets, which were moved to a nearby site at the end of the dismal Churchgate passage many years ago. Mostly pedestrianised now, setting off the fine variety of Victorian and older buildings around most of the square. Farmers' and other specialised markets held from time to time. Delightful wooden cabmen's shelter resited here from the railway station, after decades in a private garden.
Sometimes nicknamed "Hitchin Cathedral"
The largest parish church in the county and has two side chapels. Worth seeing in its own right as well as for the small shops along the paths surrounding the churchyard
In a rare and historic complex of buildings dating back to 1837, the museum tells the story of elementary education from 1810. Also includes the restored Victorian Headmaster's House.
Complete historic pharmacy preserved. The adjoining Physic Garden contains many plants once used medicinally - some poisonous.
Outdoor swimming pool
Rare survivor of the 'Lido' style
Unbelievably small theatre off Sun St. Varied (professional) repertoire, see local posters.
