Built in 1844-5 and attributed to John Thomas (1813-1862) . Originally symmetrical, but extended to left and right in the 1870s and 1880s.

Built between 1120 and 1148 as a gate tower for the Abbey; later used as the belfry of the adjacent parish church (now the cathedral) and restored 1846/7. Listing: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1375555 . Seen from Churchgate Street

The west front of the abbey was built between 1120 and 1211, but was robbed of its ashlar facing after the dissolution; houses were inserted into the remains from the late C17 and altered in the C18 and C19. Listing: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1375539 .

From SE. The surviving south-east wing of Charles II's palace, built c.1670, altered in 1705, reduced in about 1815 and remodelled as a private house and raised in height in the early to mid C19 or possibly 1857, when the house was purchased by Baron Meyer Rothschild: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1285676 (although there appear to have been some alterations since the listing was revised).

Looking WSW from Warren Hill. The roof of Tattersalls sale room is in the centre of the photo and the grandstand of the Rowley Mile racecourse can be made out just below the horizon to the right.

From W. Built for Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai at the top of Warren Hill; locally described as “the ugliest house in Newmarket”, according to www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/sheikh-mohamme... .

Looking SW from Warren Hill. The roof of Tattersalls sale room is visible on the right. Old Station Road runs across the middle ground, with Heath Road on the left.

From W. Augustinian Friary founded 1248; former cellarium converted to a house by Sir Thomas Barnardiston in 1604; became a friary again in the 20th century. List description: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1376670 .

The lower part of the tower is C13 but the upper part is C15; the south porch with the chapel adjoining it to the E are of c.1380; nave, aisles and clerestory rebuilt c.1460: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1194114 .

S. front. Begun in 1773 to designs of Robert Adam; for further history, see set page . The left-hand Venetian window lights the eating room; the central door opens into an ante-room (and was at one stage covered by a conservatory whose ghost is still visible); the room behind the right-hand Venetian window also has good original plasterwork and what is said to be an original bookcase (see links to photos from c.1890 in comment below).

Taken for comparison with a 1966 view formerly on Flickr but now online here . Not shown on the 1886 OS 1:2500 map but shown in 1902-3 where it appears to be a pair of houses without the single storey section on the right; however comments on the 1966 photo when it was on Flickr indicated that it became a single house between the wars, belonging (if memory serves) to the earl of Sefton. Now part of a sheltered housing complex.

W. front. Begun in 1773 to designs of Robert Adam; for further history, see set page . This front originally had a view to the town, and the main rooms were concentrated on this side. On the ground floor an eating room extended the full width of the front (with the N and S ends screened by columns); this survives as the school chapel. The first floor room seems to have been the original drawing room, with apsed ends N and S in the original drawings, although these do not survive. According to the original plans, the E. front originally had a similar bow for symmetry but it was used to form closets, rather than being expressed internally.

N. front. Begun in 1773 to designs of Robert Adam; for further history, see set page . 19th-century wing on left; the Venetian window lights the staircase. Originally the stairs were behind the left-hand window in the main block, and the original drawings show the E. front with a two-storey bow to match the one on the West (just visible on the right of this shot). The porch and the windows flanking it must be 19th-century alterations. Much of the original exterior "trim" is wooden, including the pilasters (according to the listing description ); note the condition of the cornice above the central window on the first floor.

View from SSE. Begun in 1773 to designs of Robert Adam; for further history, see set page . 19th-century wing on the right; according to the original drawings, the E. front initially had a two-storey bow to match the one just visible on the W. front.
