Heritage Open Days 2024 at Scampton Church
Scampton Church took part in the 2024 National Heritage Open Days Event opening its doors and putting on activities to celebrate the heritage of the building and it’s RAF connections.
The week ran from the 7th to the 14th September and included an ‘Allies in the Air’ exhibition which explored stories of allied airmen who travelled from around the world to serve in the Royal Flying Corps in Lincolnshire during the First World War, and how one in fourteen of all British World War 1 aircraft were built by women in Lincoln.
Also running were a children’s ‘Fallen Friend’ workshop, which helped children learn about airmen, who came from all over the Commonwealth and are buried in our war graves. A war graves tour for adults was also well attended and run by our Battle of Britain Memorial Flight historian.
