During the early months of the Second World War, the Parochial Church Council set aside ground for the burial of airmen from Feltwell Royal Air Force Station, and this is now the War Graves Plot. There are 6 soldiers and 19 airmen belonging to the forces of the United Kingdom, 11 airmen of the Royal Canadian Air Force, 2 airmen of the Royal Australian Air Force and 10 belonging to the Royal New Zealand Air Force. The plot also contains two graves which are not war graves - a civilian, the wife of an airman at the R.A.F. Station was buried in 1941 and an airman from the station who died in 1948.
The tour lasts approx. 60 mins and covers about 100 metres on paths and grass with uneven ground.
There is limited parking available nearby. There are no on site facilities or toilets. Please bring water if required.
Please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear.
