Brampton Grange

[2][3] Until the removal of the eastern wing by developers, marks could be seen on the walls from school girls carvings from their pencils.

Ridley Haim Herschell was asked by Lady Olivia Sparrow to manage her schools in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex and Brampton, Cambridgeshire.

The 1st BW/BD/AD directed combat operations of Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber and fighter groups under its command from August 1942 to 25 April 1945.

[citation needed] Bomb Groups assigned to the 1st Air Division conducted mercy missions in 1945 over the German-occupied part of the Netherlands to drop food to starving Dutch.

On the ground, Dutch teams gathered to distribute it to the starving population, though due to travel difficulties this sometimes took up to ten days.

Congressmen Senators Ralph O. Brewster, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., Richard Russell, James Mead, and Albert (Happy) Chandler visited the Grange in 1943.
