One of many pubs named after John Manners, Marquis of Granby (1721-1770), eldest son of John Manners, Duke of Rutland.
As he did not outlive his father, he was always to use the title of Marquis of Granby. John Manners rose to the rank of Commander in Chief of the Army
and was exceedingly popular with those who served under him.
13th September 1851 reference was found to the Marquis of Granby, Newmarket, the occasion of an inquest recorded in the Cambridge Chronicle
and Journal. |

It was apparently extended in 1877, going by the stone over the doorway in Granby Street.
Since WW2 the pub passed through various brewers hands, from Stewart and Paterson to Watneys to Grand Metropolitan and finally to
Enterprise Inns. The closure in 2006 left the street with just one of its original three pubs
