Debach

At the time of the Domesday Book, 1086, it was called Debenbeis or Debeis, Depebecs, Debec or Debes and located in the Hundred of Wilford.

During the Second World War the parish housed a Royal Air Force Station, RAF Debach, a bomber airfield which was transferred to the USAAF and became home to the 493rd Bombardment Group.

The former airfield is now the site of Debach Enterprises, grain storage, a cafe and is also home to the Green Label food company, situated at Loomswood Farm, which specialises in the production of Gressingham duck.

[2] The small local population resulted in there being only a handful of worshippers at the church in the 1960s and it was deconsecrated in 1971; the building was sold in 1979 to become a private residence.

The church building has also had its stained glass removed and the carved stone font has been moved to the front garden area.
