Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. Onto the letter N now. What Suffolk town is known as the home of British Horse Racing?"
...1. Needham Market 2. Newbourne 3. Newmarket 4. Norton Newmarket is known as the home of British Horse Racing and has in the region of sixty training establishments and fifty stud farms. It has two racecourses and is also the location of the National Horse Racing Museum, the British Racing School and Palace House which was once the residence of King Charles II who was keen on 'the sport of kings'. Nell Gwynn's House is in the same street as Palace House and some say the two properties were once connected by an underground passage. It was Charles II's grandfather, King James I, who organised the first horse race in 1619. Another regular visitor to Newmarket was the Suffolk born artist, Sir Alfred Munnings, who became famous for his paintings of racehorses. Needham Market is located on the B1113 between Ipswich and Stowmarket and is beside the River Gipping. In the 12th century, the stone used to build the abbey at Bury St Edmunds passed along the river here. Modern day Needham Market is a small town, but up until the early 20th century it was only a hamlet of nearby Barking (today only a village) and the origins of its name ("needy homestead with a market") clearly hark back to when it was a very small place indeed. King Henry III granted a market charter for Needham in 1245, but trade appears to have moved to nearby Stowmarket at the time of the plague. Needham was isolated during the plague and much of its trade was lost as well as the market. War artist Samuel Read, who worked for the London Illustrated News during the Crimean War, was born at Needham Market. Norton was once, allegedly, the scene of a minor gold rush. A search for gold was made here during the reign of Henry VIII, although it would appear this search was unsuccessful. Writer Penny Croft (whose father David was one half of legendary sit-com writing team Croft and Perry) lives at Norton. Newbourne may have been named after a Dane, Nebrunaa, who made the village his home. Later residents of the village, George and Meadows Page, were minor celebrities in the 1860s due to their being over seven feet tall and their former home is named Giants House. After being spotted at an Easter Fair in Woodbridge, the brothers were given contracts to tour the regions as part of Samuel Whiting's travelling fair. A gravestone dedicated to the 'The Suffolk Giant', George Page, can be found in the churchyard of St Mary, Newbourne. The church itself made the news when its entire east end was blown out in the great storm of October 1987.
