Property Description
Location
The Exning Estate lies adjacent to the village of Exning on the Suffolk/Cambridge border. Newmarket is located 2 miles to the south of the property. The A14 is the main trunk road running west to east through East Anglia connecting Newmarket with Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds. The road borders the southern boundary of the Estate.
Newmarket and its surrounding area, including Exning, have long been recognised as the international headquarters of the thoroughbred racing and breeding industry, with some of the oldest and most successful racing and breeding empires based in and around the town.

Description
History
The Exning Estate was purchased in 1919 by William James Tatum, a ship owner from Cardiff who later became first Lord Glanely. He formed the Atlantic Shipping & Trading Company taking 'coal out' to Italy and bringing 'grain home' to Europe from the black sea.
Lord Glanely had a passion for race horses and was a distinguished owner who won all five of the Classic races. The Estate was purchased to house his collection of racehorses, both breeding and racing.
Lord Glanely was killed in 1942 in the second world war with no surviving heirs and so the Estate passed to the Gibson family.
Simon Gibson was known as an extremely philanthropic patron to the many charities and trusts he supported. He was an enthusiastic and successful racehorse owner and breeder following in the footsteps of Lord Glanely whose horse Grand Parade, won the 1919 Derby and is buried on the Estate. Simon Gibson passed away in 2021.
