English Icons

There are only two things that the English have given to the world that dominate everything.

One is of course the English language and the other is the thoroughbred racehorse.

Every racehorse in the world traces back to Newmarket (or New Horse Market), the town in Suffolk founded by the Iceni about 1500 years ago. The icon is summed up by the much more than lifestyle statue of a horse and groom at the entrance to the town.
