A Question of History

There are some fascinating, and sometimes horrid historic perspectives to Mildenhall.

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.
