Place & story

Newmarket House

Newmarket House, at Fair Green in Newmarket on Fergus, dates from around 1840. Its central projection rises to a pediment containing a blind semicircular opening. The entrance combines limestone pilasters, sidelights and an overlight with a circular glazing bar. The architectural inventory also records sash windows, a recessed wing and a later conservatory. Octagonal stone gate piers and cast-iron gates mark the approach. [2]
