[1] The village is older than the now larger town of Newmarket and includes a 15th-century packhorse bridge spanning the River Kennett.

This is one of two such bridges in Suffolk, with the other being located in the neighbouring village Kentford.

The bridge is a grade II* listed structure [3] Moulton also has a fine church, St. Peter's, with an early 14th-century tower topped by a gilded weather vane in the shape of a large pike by blacksmith Charles Poulter.

They were then granted to Thomas Blakelake, parson of St. Nicholas, Feltwell, and others, at a rent of forty pounds annually for his life.
