Exning Church

Up until the mid-19th century this was just a small rural settlement.

If you delve a little deeper into the history books, legend has it that Exning was the capital of Celtic Queen Bodicia’s kingdom.

When the black plague reached the village she and her followers fled to a settlement they call Newmarket.

Exning has recently triumphed in the district councils village of the year award and its bought a great sense of achievement for the parish.
