Penkridge — Nearly 800 Years of Market Day
Henry III granted Penkridge a royal charter for its weekly market in 1244, and — after a few interruptions over the centuries — the market still runs today on Wednesdays and Saturdays, a genuinely remarkable continuity for a small Staffordshire town. Overlooking it all is St Michael and All Angels, a striking Grade I listed church that was, until the 19th century, a "Royal Peculiar" — independent of the local Bishop of Lichfield and answerable directly to the Crown.
The town's railway viaduct, carrying the West Coast Main Line over the River Penk, was built by the celebrated Victorian engineers Joseph Locke and Thomas Brassey. Away from these landmarks, Penkridge functions as a genuine market town with its own everyday mix of shops, homes and local business — Ben covers all of it, with the same no-call-out-fee pricing used across Staffordshire.

Full details & FAQs →Key Fob Repairs in Penkridge

Covering All of Penkridge — Market Square to St Michael's
Penkridge's market — held on the historic Market Square area since Henry III's 1244 charter — remains a genuine focal point of the town, running every Wednesday and Saturday and drawing regular visitors from across the surrounding villages. St Michael and All Angels, the Grade I listed church that dominates the skyline, was a "Royal Peculiar" for centuries — independent of the local bishop and answerable directly to the Crown, a genuinely unusual ecclesiastical status.
The town's Victorian railway viaduct, carrying trains over the River Penk on the West Coast Main Line, was engineered by Joseph Locke and built by Thomas Brassey — both celebrated names in railway engineering history. Away from these landmarks, Penkridge's residential streets and everyday town centre business make up the bulk of the locksmith work Ben covers here.
