Mildenhall is a market town and civil parish in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk, England, lying on the banks of the River Lark. The town has a compact historic centre with a medieval parish church, St Mary’s Church, and is surrounded by fenland and arable countryside that reflects the agricultural character of the area.
Locally it is famous for the Roman treasure discovered nearby, the Mildenhall Treasure, now in the British Museum, and for the nearby RAF Mildenhall, whose long-standing United States air force presence has shaped the economy and social life. Alongside farming, local services, a regular market and community events, these influences give Mildenhall a distinctive blend of rural history and contemporary links to wider military and cultural networks.
