Newmarket can boast a large number of interesting churches. There
are no less than seven in the town - and other beautiful, ancient,
parish churches
in villages within easy reach of the town. Newmarket’s churches
are St Mary’s, a flint-clad building with a stained glass
window which was updated by the Victorians and built on the site
of a medieval chapel, located in St Mary’s Square. Its sister
church St Agnes’ on the Bury Road has a wealth of wonderful
artistic and architectural details. All Saints is a flint clad Victorian
building. The church has some fine carved stone details inside.
Christchurch built in the shape of a crown, on St Mary’s Square,
is home to the Methodist/U.R.C. congregation. The Roman Catholic
Church of Our Lady and St. Etheldredas is the largest in the town.
It is a light and airy mid-twentieth century building with simple,
attractive décor. Studlands Christian Fellowship is a small
modern building out of town at Studlands Park. The Xchange is a
large modern building, situated in a small industrial estate, which
is home to Newmarket Community Church.
