Cheveley Park
History of Cheveley Park
Listed Building
Gate piers, and boundary wall to park, late C17.
Lodge, c.1900. Red brick, plain tile roof.
On 31st July 1942 a german Dornier 217 crashed at the top end of the Duchess Drive, among the trees at the edge of the road running by Cheveley Park. The crew had baled out and the Wood Ditton Home Guard was called in to help round them up. … Schoolgirl Joyce Burling had more luck than most of us and managed to talk one of the soldier guards into giving her a piece of the instrument panel, complete with instructions printed in German.
