famil}% by inheritance from the Parkers. The manor of 

 Burgh-hall took its name from the family of De Burgh, to which 

 it belonged in the reign of Edward III. From the Burghs it 

 passed by a female heir to the Ingoldesthorpes, and was after- 

 wards successively in the Mordaurants and Alingtons. In 

 the beginning of the present century it belonged to the Earl 

 of Aylesbury, whose father acquired it in marriage with one of 

 the daughters of Charles, Duke of Somerset. 



Burgh, or Burrough-Green, lies about four miles south 

 of Newmarket. Before the Norman Conquest the manor of 

 Burgh belonged to Queen Editha, consort of St. Edward the 

 Confessor, who had large possessions in Cambridgeshire ; and 

 as this is the only one of her manors where a deer park is 

 described in Domesday Book, it is most probable that she 

 had a palace here for her occasional residence. William the 

 Conqueror gave this manor and the whole of Queen Editha's 

 property in Cambridgeshire to Alan, Earl of Brittany. We 

 next find it in the family of De Burgh, from whom it passed 

 by a female heir to the Ingoldesthorpes, Elizabeth, 2nd 

 daughter of John Nevill, Marquis Montagu, by Isabella, 

 daughter and sole heiress of Sir Edmund Ingoldesthorpe, 

 married to Thomas Lord Scrope, of Upsal, who died about 

 the year 149 1, having bequeathed the manor of Borrough- 

 Green to his niece Lucy, daughter of Sir Anthony Browne. 

 In 1 52 1 we find it in the possession of Sir John Cutts ; it was 

 afterwards in the families of Cage and Singlesby. Early in 

 the last century it became the property of Edward Russell, 

 Earl of Oxford, who dying without issue in 1727, this manor 

 appears to have been purchased of his representatives by 

 Charles, Duke of Somerset ; and subsequently passed to the 

 Earl of Aylesbury, who acquired it in marriage with the 

 duke's youngest daughter. 



Hare Park seems to have been located in DuLLiNGHAM 

 Manor, about four miles south of Newmarket. When the 

 Domesday survey was taken, the manor of Dullingham, which 

 had formerly belonged to Algar, Earl of Mercia, was a parcel 

 of the possessions of the abbot and convent of St. Wendrille, 

 in Normandy. John, Duke of Bedford, died seised of the
