1237 Frodsham owned by the Crown

The town passed with the earldom to the Crown after the death of the last of the Norman earls in 1237. Frodsham became an important trade and market town, helped by a small port. Market and Industry continued to grow until the 14th Century when the Black Death halted the town's expansion. It wasn't until 1661 that the market was re-established under new rights granted by Charles II and it is those rights that see a regular market held every Thursday, to this very day.
