    A charter granted by King Edward I in 1275 for the repair and extension of the town wall suggests that the town was walled at some point before that. In the early 1300s, Youghal was a bustling town, with a market at the Main Street’s widest point and a busy port that welcomed ships from England, France, and Spain.
