Liberator Close is so named because during the Second World War a B24 Liberator crashed in the field behind the houses. 25th July 1944, B-24H, 41-29402, “The Mad Monk” of the 786th BS, 466th BG, took off from nearby RAF Attlebridge. It clipped some trees causing it to crash. The aircraft was so severely damaged it was condemned and salvaged for spares. Fortunately all the crew survived.
