Fuller states that Sir John Huddleston was highly to Framlingham. She afterwards made hlm, as I have heard, honoured by Queen Mary, and deservedly. Such was the her Privy Councillor; and besides other great boons, bestowed trust reposed in him, that when Jane Grey was proclaimed the bigger part of Cambridge Castle, then in ruins, upon him, Queen, she came privately to him at Sawston, and rid thence with the stone whereof he built his fair house in this county. Behind his servant, the better to disguise herself from discovery, indeed, that she gave the stone from Cambridge Castle to rebuild the House, but it is certain that, at least, it was unfinished many years after Mary's death, although commenced during her lifetime. In the court-yard are two stones, which record the dates - probably of the commencement and termination of the building. Upon one are the initials, J. H., and the date 1557; on the other, those of E. H., (edmund, son of Sir John, ) with the date 1584.
