Market Bosworth is a small town in West Leicestershire, England and the 1988 winner of Britain in Bloom (though its postal town is Nuneaton in Warwickshire).
It is mainly known for giving its name to the nearby Battle of Bosworth Field, the concluding battle in the Wars of the Roses. A town charter, granting the right to the market was granted in 1285 by King Edward I.
The town saw some activity in the English Civil War. Troops from local garrisons descended upon the town seeking billets and fresh horses. A list of claims submitted by the constables of Market Bosworth to the Warwickshire county committee in June, 1646, reveals that Colonel Purefoy鎶� soldiers from the Coventry garrison availed themselves of "free quarter" worth ?25.8.8 and stole ?1.7.10 in 鎼慹ady money from Peter Storer. Two Coventry soldiers, identified as Lieutenant Beake (listed under Captain Flower in a 1645 garrison muster) and Capener, stole mares worth ?5 apiece from Mr Pelsant and Mr Chancey. Captain Ottaway took a mare worth ?2.19 from Woolstan Leaby, a servant, 鎼噀aving another in her roome, and Captain Flower鎶� troops took a mare worth ?2 from widow Siddon. On another occasion, Captain Smith's forces from the Tamworth garrison took a mare worth ?4 from Richard Palmer. The town was also visited by soldiers under the command of the notorious "Tinker" Fox from Edgbaston Hall. On 8 September 1644 Edward Raynor, "a soldier under Colonel Fox" allegedly took a mare worth ?3.13.4 from Mr Chancey.
Michael Hudson of Market Bosworth was a royal chaplain and Scoutmaster-general of the Army in the North, killed at the capture of Woodcroft House in Northamptonshire in 1648.
The parish church is named after St. Peter.
There are three schools in the town: St. Peter's (C of E aided) Primary School, Market Bosworth High School, and the Dixie Grammar School. St. Peter's (C of E aided) Primary School takes its name from the town church. It is located on Station Road. Originally the school was in Park Street however it moved to a new, purpose-built building in 1975. The original school house was turned into a private dwelling.
Market Bosworth previously held a large livestock market on Mondays in the area behind the Black Horse Pub. Sheep, pigs and cattle were sold there.
