Learn more about Downham Market

Tucked between the River Great Ouse and the Fens, Downham Market's historic Town Hall stands as the crown jewel of this charming market town. Visitors can explore nearby natural wonders at WWT Welney Wetland Centre or tee off at the scenic Ryston Park Golf Club after admiring the restored Denver Windmill.

St Mary's church - tower and porch St Mary's is judged by architectural historians to be of Saxon origin. The church is built of carstone and flint and has a round tower with an octagonal top, believed to once have been higher. Interestingly, the tower has no stairs as in very early times ladders were used to access the upper floors which explains the doorways in the east and west walls. An archway of Saxon construction links the tower to the nave. The font dates from the 14th century. There are two Saxon windows in the north and south walls. During the 19th century the windows were changed - a lancet window was being put in the north wall and on the south side two early English and Perpendicular windows were blocked up and another lancet window was added where there had been an early English window. The church was restored and the floor was retiled during Victorian times.
