King Johns Tavern
King Johns Tavern is located in the corner of the market place, the historic centre of Hartlepool, whose right to hold a market and to appoint its own mayor was given by King John in 1201. The pub is situated at the corner of the market place, with the surrounding buildings built around 1970.
In 1201, for the then princely sum of £20, King John granted the burgess of Hartlepool a charter which allowed them to hold a weekly market and an annual fifteen-day fair. also allowed them to run their own courts of justice and organise a guild to regulate the town’s commercial activities. The market is still held today.
