The memorial to the American 466 Bomb Group is situated close to one of the former airfield runways and there is a roll of honour in the nearby church. The closest village is Western Longville and the church tower was a familiar marker for crews navigating their way back from a mission; the airfield was named after the nearest railway station, rather than the village. Close to the memorial are two large concrete cubes that formed part of a roadblock; a reminder that airfields often had a disruptive effect on their local landscapes.
