Exploring the villages of North East Bedfordshire

Another Sunday, another outing. This time to the village of Yielden/Yelden where we walked around the remains of the Norman Castle- large mounds covered with grass

Then further on we visited the Church and a war grave

Just 20 years old, Private Robinson of The Norfolk Regiment died at the end of the First World War
Inside the church a plaque to commemorate a terrible World War Two accident and below those on the ground who were killed by the crash
Yelden was in close proximity to USAAF base at Chelveston

  1. That must have been a horrific crash. So many American planes crashed near their home airfields.
