Grafton Underwood Village Walk. (English Village Walks)

Join me, (Paul) as i walk through Grafton Underwood Village and discover it's American connection. A royal village indelibly linked with Edward lV‘s Queen, Elizabeth Woodville and with Charles ll, who gave this crown property to his natural son Henry FitzRoy, Duke of Grafton. Grafton's population comprises approximately 146 souls (2011 census). The Village includes - in addition to the Airfield and Monument, St. James the Apostle Church, and the Village Hall (where from Spring to Autumn Matt Smith hosts monthly 384thBG/aviation-related film & talk nights). The community hosts occasional 'open garden' events, and each Sunday in August they host cream teas by the brook. The Village also welcomes back ex-servicemen and their families who come visit the place which in time past was such an important part of their lives. Amongst the more permanent reminders of the 384th BG presence at Grafton Underwood in WWII is a granite memorial situated on the airfield upon the main runway, a stained glass window in St. James the Apostle Church.
