R.A.F. Service

I was stationed at Melchbourne 1948/49 and used to visit the Temperance Cafe in the High Street. I would like to know more about Melchbourne House after it was handed back. When I was there it was in a dreadful state of repair. I would think it must now be a grand house again. During the war I think the Americans were there as they were also at Chelvestone and Yelden. Any information I would appreciate. Ken Horton

The house was restored after the war and lived in as a family home for some time. It is now luxury appartments. Source:- http://www.stodden.org/church/Melchbourne/tabid/54/Default.aspx

I have recently moved to Rushden and am interested in local history. I am particularly fascinated by all the former airfields in the area. There's so many of them!
