Celebrating a Community Connected by Music and Memory

Our recent Summer Concert in Grafton Underwood was a great success, despite the heat. The church is well worth a visit, not only for its beauty but also for its historical significance related to the nearby US Army Air Forces base that played a crucial role during World War II. The base, which housed the 457th Bombardment Group, was a vital part of the Allied air campaign and contributed significantly to the war effort.
Notably, inside the church, visitors can admire a beautiful stained glass window featuring an airplane, which serves as a touching tribute to the brave airmen who served during that time. This window not only enhances the church's beauty but also commemorates the connection between the local community and the military history of the area.
We are very grateful to the local volunteers who provided the audience and us with a fabulous buffet and an affordably priced bar, helping to create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone involved.
