We have no actual evidence of Queen Elizabeth 

 ever having been at Newmarket, but it may not be 

 improbable that during the time when, as Princess, 

 she was a state prisoner at Kirtling Hall, under the 

 charge of Edward, first Lord North, that she paid 

 an occasional visit to the town and its famous Heath. 



Kirtling is five miles south-east from Newmarket. Kirt- 

 ling Tower, the seat of the Hon. W. H. J. North, J. P., is all 

 that now remains of the whilom prison of the Princess Eliza- 

 beth. After her accession, she was at Cambridge in August, 

 1564, and during the royal progress through Norfolk and 

 Suffolk in July and August, 1578, her Majesty visited Audley 

 End, Hengrave, Barrow, Bury, and Euston.
