The place-name 'Market Rasen' is first testified in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Rase, Rasa and Resne. The name originates from the Old English ræsn significance 'slab', and also is thought to describe a plank bridge. The river name 'Rase' is a back-formation. Initially "Rasen", as it is understood in your area, was called "East Rasen", "Rasen Parva" or "Little Rasen". The community centre has a homogeneous 19th-century redbrick look of primarily Georgian and Victorian design, centred on a market area with a medieval church, recovered in the 19th century. The River Rase flows via the town as well as is crossed by Jameson Bridge, Caistor Road Bridge and Crane Bridge. Market days are Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. On each Tuesday there is an auction of items and generate, and also on the initial Tuesday of each month, a farmers' market. Every Friday the Women's Institute holds a nation market. Market Rasen's area fire and police station opened up December 2005. It is one of the initial purpose-built mixed fire and police headquarters in the UK. In 2011 it was one of the communities selected for the Portas Evaluation of sectarian selling business.
