More about this scene

The church of St Mary and St Gabriel was built in 1869. A far noisier centre was established nearby when RAF Binbrook was built during the Second World War. This was one of the many Bomber Command airfields built in Lincolnshire during those fateful days. A new village, Brookenby, is now located on the old airfield site.
