The place-name 'Market Rasen' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it looks like Rase, Rasa and Resne. The name stems from the Old English ræsn meaning 'slab', and is thought to describe a plank bridge. The river name 'Rase' is a back-formation. Initially "Rasen", as it is known locally, was called "East Rasen", "Rasen Parva" or "Little Rasen". The community centre has a homogeneous 19th-century redbrick appearance of generally Georgian and also Victorian design, centred on a market area with a medieval church, brought back in the 19th century. The River Rase flows with the community and is crossed by Jameson Bridge, Caistor Road Bridge as well as Crane Bridge. Market days are Tuesdays, Fridays and also Saturdays. On each Tuesday there is a public auction of products and also produce, and also on the first Tuesday of monthly, a farmers' market. Every Friday the Women's Institute holds a country market.
