Market Bosworth, United Kingdom

Following the discovery of the remains of Richard III in Leicester during 2012, the funeral cortège for his reburial passed through the town on Sunday 22 March 2015 on its way to Leicester Cathedral. This event is now commemorated with a floor plaque in front of the war memorial in the town square.

In 1509 the manor passed from the Harcourts to the Grey family.

In 1554, following the beheading of Lady Jane Grey, the manor of Bosworth was among lands confiscated in the name of Mary I and her husband Philip II of Spain. They awarded the manor to the Catholic nobleman Edward Hastings. In 1567, his heirs sold it to Sir Wolstan Dixie, Lord Mayor of London, who never lived in Bosworth.

The first Dixie to live in Bosworth was his grand-nephew, Sir Wolstan Dixie of Appleby Magna, who moved to the town in 1608. He started construction of a manor house and park, as well as establishing the free Dixie Grammar School. The modern Bosworth Hall was the work of Sir Beaumont Dixie, 2nd Baronet (1629–1692).

In 1885 the 11th Baronet "Beau" Dixie was forced to auction Bosworth Hall to pay his gambling debts. It was bought by Lady Agnes Tollemache, whose husband Charles Tollemache Scott enlarged the estate, planted woodlands, and rebuilt the lodges and farms. Lady Agnes's daughter, Wenefryde Scott, sold the estate in 1913.

The War Memorial in the town square honours nineteen local men who died in the First World War, and eleven men who died in the Second World War. The town's historic cattle market operated until 1996.
