Saxon Street was once described as 'a considerable hamlet of Wood Ditton'. Its children shared the same school, giving it strong ties with the parent village. Although Saxon Street is still part of Wood Ditton parish, today it has more of an air of independence and looking down 'The Street' one gets the impression of local pride in a well kept community, with many of the old properties beautifuly restored and improved.
Saxon Street also shows much evidence of its close association with Newmarket with several impressive buildings devoted to the care of racehorses. The Rutland Stud, founded in the 1930's by the late Mr Edgar Cooper Bland, together with much of the local land, is owned by Sheikh Mohammed Al-Maktoum and managed by Darley Stud Management.Quite a lot goes on in this small community which has the advantage of the Methodist Church Hall for meetings. A successful Girl's Brigade Group meeting is held there on Wednesday evenings and a public access computer is also available there, see Events page for details.
The old flint and brick pub 'The Reindeer' includes a restaurant with a wide choice of dishes. A 'No smoking' rule applies inside the premises. (01638 730989)RECENT EVENTS
