History
Windsor is first mentioned in mediaeval literature. The name originates from Winch-furnished-Riverbank. Soon after 1066 William the Conqueror selected Windsor as the location for a defensive castle. The town gained the right to hold a market by 1261 which is a sign of its status and royal patronage.
