There were different types of markets.

Temporary markets were set up at fairs in villages and at important places in the country.

The distinguishing feature of a town, separating it from a village, was the presence of a permanent market. Such markets had to have royal charters in many times and places. Under William the Conqueror, there were eight towns that had such charters.

Each city, however, had one or more markets as part of its charter, which also included other provisions not given to towns. There were many cities.

So the number of temporary markets cannot be counted, and the number of permanent markets might be somewhat more than the number of cities plus the number of towns. Naturally it all varied with time and the political conditions.
