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.

Well behaved dogs on a lead are welcome in the cemetery.

Please note there can be last minute cancellations. This can be due to various reasons including illness, site issues and weather. We will email you as soon as we can, but this could include the morning of the tour, so please check your emails prior to leaving for the tour.

The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF) aims to actively engage all communities with the work of the CWGC by telling the inspiring stories through education and outreach projects.

The CWGF is an independent charity registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales (1171947) and Scotland (SC051982).
