The church at Great Ponton is well known to motorists dashing up and down the A1, which runs just a few yards to the west. The tower was built in 1519, paid for by a local wool merchant, but the church is about 200 years older.
I came here to pay my respects to two graves of servicemen cared for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. These are the graves are those of:
