Part of this place is in Suffolk, and part in Cambridgeshire. It consists of one street. It is the most celebrated place in England for horse-races. Charles II build a house here for the sake of this diversion and endowed a free school. Om the l. are seen Gogmagog hills; and two miles on the r. Cheveley Park, duke of Rutland. Between N. and Red house on the l. is Chippenham-park, John Thorpe esq.

Quotations
 Chapter 44 
Tom had gone from London with a party of young men to Newmarket, where a neglected fall and a good deal of drinking had brought on a fever; and when the party broke up, being unable to move, had been left by himself at the house of one of these young men to the comforts of sickness and solitude, and the attendance only of servants. Instead of being soon well enough to follow his friends, as he had then hoped, his disorder increased considerably, and it was not long before he thought so ill of himself as to be as ready as his physician to have a letter despatched to Mansfield.
