1681 Garlic Fair move

The Master's garden of Jesus College was extended over the area where Garlic Fair was held. The Fair was moved along Jesus Lane to the corner of what then became known as Garlic Fair Lane, which is now Park Street.

According to Willis and Clark, the records of Jesus College state that a wall was built round the Master's garden in 1681. Was this the time that Garlic Fair was forced to move?
