Richardson, it is stated that - Garnsgate Hall was originally a place of some importance and was approached over a drive and avenue of trees from the Wisbech Road across Seagate, Cowpergate and the Delph - ' In 1685 The Hall was occupied by William Delamore. His family, who were influential in the town, continued to occupy the house for many years. It is understood that one of the Delamore family, in his capacity as a Justice in the town, was responsible for ordering the arrest for sheep stealing of John Palmer, who it was later proved was the notorious highwayman, Dick Turpin, who lived in the town in 1737.
