Taking the bus? You'll arrive at our new bus shelter opposite the precinct, from here it's easy to find your way. Inside the new bus station you'll find literature about Mildenhall and district. Taxi's can also be hailed from this area making it very convenient place for visitors to get about.

How so much is displayed in this building is beyond us. From fossilised pre-history to the Romans, Norman's, the Victorian era, WW2, RAF Mildenahall and the first flight to Australia from the UK; all crammed in to a flint building opposite the chip shop.

St. Mary’s Church, located a stone throw from the Market Cross is one of the largest and finest churches in Suffolk? Have you heard about the axe head and arrow damage in the ceiling rafters (attibuted to Common-wealth Puritan iconoclast vandals?)!
Did you know there was a huge fire in the market place, destroying nearly all the property there? That the punishment of being placed in the stocks was carried out at the Market Cross, and that the Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds could authorise the hanging of criminals on this site?
Walking around the town you'll see clues and hints at our town's history - to get greater insight there's a fascinating article here.
