Holsworthy is a historic market town with hundreds of years of history and is mentioned in the Domesday Book, as being part of the estate of Harold Godwinson. The town has occupied a hill top site since Saxon times, and in 1154 became a safe trading centre (known as a port town). The date of the original Market and Fair Charter is between 1154 and 1185.

At that time, the spokesman for the inhabitants was known as the Portreeve and the ruling council as the Court Leet. The Court Leet used to hold their tribunals beneath the Great Tree, and a metal disc set in the road on Stanhope Street marks the site.

A second charter was granted by James I of England in 1614 and this is proclaimed by the Town crier on Wednesday of St Peter's Fair. Holsworthy is twinned with Aunay-sur-Odon, Calvados, France.
