Moulton is a Forest Heath, Suffolk, England village which pre-dates the 1086 Domesday book and, in 2005, had a population of 1090.[1]
The village is older than the now larger town of Newmarket and is famous [citation needed] for its 15th-century packhorse bridge spanning the River Kennett. 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.[2]
