Don Bradman

History of The White Horse Inn
The White Horse Inn was constructed by Tobias Rustat at the end of the seventeenth century. It was built as a coaching inn to take advantage of the stagecoach traffic between Cambridge, Colchester and Ipswich.

The pub was owned at the turn of the nineteenth century by Mr and Mrs. Bradnam. Their son married and emigrated to Australia - and in 1908, their grandson, Donald George, was born in Cootamundra, NSW.

The local registrar was unfamiliar with the Suffolk name of Bradnam and wrote down the baby as Donald George Bradman in the register of births.

Don Bradman became Australia's greatest sporting hero, famously averaging 99 in first class cricket.
