Historically, Newmarket had two town centre churches and whereas All Saints (church micro GC81QBD) was in Cambridgeshire and on the right hand side of the High Street, St Mary came to be regarded as the parish church, being on the left hand side of the High Street and in Suffolk. Originally it was a chapel of ease for St Martin’s church in Exning. Whereas All Saints and St Agnes (church micro GC81Q9X) are Victorian builds, St Mary’s was a Medieval church heavily restored in the second half of the 19th century. The church is large, with two aisles and a clerestory. The south aisle is 15th century, but the aisle opposite is Victorian. What used to be the graveyard has been cleared of headstones and is now a small park. A row of 18th century headstones survive against a wall to the west of the church.
