Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Newmarket: The Palace House Looking for all the world like a 1980s office building the lower two storeys of this building are the main surviving remnants of King Charles II's Royal Palace, built in 1671 when he patronized Newmarket and its horse racing activities. This fact is borne out by the details on the stone tablet below the middle window. Unfortunately most of the palace was demolished in Regency times. Indeed this was history repeating itself because both King James I and King Charles I, the grandfather and father of Charles II, also patronized Newmarket and James built a large palace here only for it to be razed to the ground during the Cromwellian era.
The Palace House is now the local tourist office. |
