The Universal British Dictionary 1793-1798, page 338 (3 of 3):
... reported to have built a palace, some part of the walls of which are still standing. Beside this palace there was another, called Pergo, that seems to have been always the jointure-house of a queen consort. Here died Joan queen of Henry IV. It was certainly one of the royal seats in the reign of Queen Elizabeth; for, during her progress into Suffolk , in 1570, she resided here some days. It was the seat of the late Lord Archer, and was pulled down in 1770. On the seite [sic] of the former is the elegant villa of Sir John Smith Burges, Bart. called the Bower House; and near this is Bedfords, the seat of John Heaton, Esq.
