Wretham 'A' Camp from the entrance
Now deserted, east Wretham airfield was hurriedly brought into service during the early years of World War II as a satellite airfield with No. 311 (Czech) Squadron dispersed there from RAF Honington in July 1940. No hard runway was ever laid.
East Wretham churchyard has 16 graves of those who died while serving at the station.
After the war ended, the airfield was briefly used by the RAF as a Polish resettlement camp, and STANTA (Stanford Practical Training Area) finally took over possession until its closure.

Wretham village sign
The sign is surmounted by a Ram’s head remembering that at one time a ram was released in a barley field after the harvest and whoever caught it was allowed to keep it. The ram was donated by Eton college which manorial rights at the time. The pine trees and the grey partridges represent all the local flora and fauna. The sharp-eyed will notice one of the partridges is investigating a beetle, locally called a chovy of which there are many, otherwise known as cockchafers. The presence of the witch is a bit of a mystery and probably included for a bit of fun although many parishes had traditions of witchcraft in the middle ages, some of which persisted into the last century.
