Rutland Arms Hotel
The Rutland Arms Hotel is a historic 17th-century former coaching inn located on the High Street in Newmarket, Suffolk, England. It is a Grade II listed Georgian building with a notable history connected to horse racing and the town's heritage. Originally known as the Ram Inn, it was renamed in the 20th century after the Duke of Rutland, who was then Lord of the Manor of Newmarket. Its construction as the Rutland Arms Hotel began in 1815, commissioned by John Henry Manners, the fifth Duke of Rutland. The hotel retains many original period features, including a cobbled courtyard dating back to the reign of Charles II. It features timber-framed and rendered elevations with 18th-century joinery, including a distinctive sash window with a semi-circular head on the north side. The hotel has undergone various ownership changes and has been the subject of redevelopment plans aimed at refurbishment and expansion. In recent years, it was put up for auction after its owners faced challenges in progressing development plans, despite having secured planning permission for a 72-en-suite bedroom hotel.
The Codebreaker sculpture in Newmarket is a public artwork commemorating William "Bill" Tutte, a World War II codebreaker who cracked the German Lorenz cipher at Bletchley Park, a feat believed to have shortened World War II. The sculpture, partly seen here beyond and to the right of the info board was designed by Harry Gray. It features six 2.4-meter high perforated steel panels that resemble the paper tape used in the coded messages. When viewed from a distance, the holes in the panels coalesce to form a portrait of Tutte. The sculpture is located on Newmarket's High Street and was unveiled in September 2014.
Tutte's work on the Lorenz cipher was kept secret for decades due to national security concerns. The sculpture serves as a permanent public reminder of his contribution to the war effort.
