Basingstoke has held a Charter Market since before 1203, and is recorded as being a market site in the Domesday Book.
The ruins of the Tudor palace of Basing House can be found two miles east of the town centre, in Old Basing. Population growth has been rapid since its designation as a London overspill town (often confused with new town status) in 1961: in 1951 there were only 16,000 inhabitants.
Today it is famous for having a large number of roundabouts.
