Newmarket All Saints church

There are a small number of wholly Victorian churches in west Suffolk and include both those in Newmarket. The foundation stone was laid in 1875 on the site of the old church. The design was by Oldham Chambers of Lowestoft, whom Cautley regarded as untutored. The lower part of the tower was preserved and rebuilt to a greater height than before. It is now unsafe for bell-ringing. Noticeable is the fact that the clerestory windows are too small and a poor attempt at Gothic revival. Originally built with an apsidal east end it was remodelled in 1888 to the way it is today. There is nothing of antiquarian interest in the church as nothing was preserved from the old church. It is not even a good example of a late Victorian church. It is however, smart and clean inside with excellent facilities.
