If you draw a straight line from Cambridge to Bury, it passes through Moulton, and so does the River Kennet. Now, the A14 thunders past some three miles north of here, but for centuries travellers came this way, crossing the river on the ancient packhorse bridge which sits in the middle of this lovely village. See Image Gallery.
Apart from the 13th century tower, this church was rebuilt in the early years of the 16th century, and is roughly contemporary with the more famous Lavenham.
The most striking thing about the interior is the lack of coloured glass, except for a single, and rather unusual, representation of the ascended Christ near the top of the east window. Given that this is a big church, and that the extensive Victorian restoration here was at the relatively early date of 1850, this imparts a rather spartan feel to the interior.
However, there are a number of medieval survivals which are offset rather nicely by such a simple setting. The best of these are the four creatures on medieval bench ends set onto the modern choir stalls. They are probably contemporary with the 16th C rebuilding, and depict a unicorn, a stag, a sheep and a dog.
