A timber-framed belfry with a clock and a slender spire rises over the market square here, with a horse cart waiting in the foreground. Structures like this one were the civic heart of many small towns, where the bell marked the opening of trade and the clock kept farmers and merchants on a shared schedule. The cart in front is a reminder of how the market depended on wagons and animals bringing produce in from surrounding fields. Look at the exposed timber framing and the way the belfry sits atop the market hall, a common arrangement in European towns where civic buildings and trading space shared one roof.
