in Cambridgeshire, 13 miles from Cambridge, 13 from St Edmundsbury, and 60 from London, is a town with one long street, the north side in Suffolk, the south side in Cambridgeshire. It is a healthy place, and a great thoroughfare in the road from London to Norfolk; but stands mostly by the horse-races every year in April and October, here being the finest course in England; on which there is a house for the king when he comes to the races, which was built by Charles II. The king gives a plate or two every year, besides those given by the nobility; and wagers are laid upon the horses, which are seldom under 500 l., and often above 1,000 l. Here are two coffeehouses, at which, every night and morning during the races, there is gaming, as there is also at the houses of the nobility and gentry. Here are also cock matches. Here is a little chapel, which is a chapel of ease to the mother-church at Ditton; and another in the Suffolk side, which is parochial. The town was burnt in 1683, but soon rebuilt. Here are two charity-schools, one for 20 boys, another for 20 girls, supported by 50 l. a-year, first settled by Queen Anne. Here is a market on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and fairs on October 28 and Whitmon-Tuesday.
