Henry Cecil Open Weekend
Newmarket, Suffolk
Enjoy an action-packed weekend of events and the opportunity to get exclusive behind the scenes access to some of Britain’s best-known racing yards.
The Memorial stands at the upper end of the High Street. It is an elaborate stone water trough, commemorating Sir Daniel Cooper, one of Newmarket’s most popular sporting aristocrats and benefactors, who died in 1909 at his second home in London.
He was brought by special train to Newmarket, where his ashes were interred at Newmarket Cemetery, just across the road.
