Harleston Heath Plate Race and Other Notices
A fragmented 18th century notice details a plate race for horses at Harleston Heath near Northampton on Wednesday within Gafter-Week, with a second plate the following Friday for Galloways not over 14 hands. It lists entry at Hill's Coffee-house and references sales, royal beauty fluid advertisements, a deserter from Col Duroure's company, a reward, and public notices about subscriptions and a Cardinal Wolsey life work.
