Kirmington

Less than 1 mile (1.6 km) to the west is Humberside International Airport, the former Second World War station, RAF Kirmington.

[3] The village Grade II* listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Helena.

The church was restored in 1859 by Samuel Sanders Teulon, who rebuilt both aisles and re-roofed the nave.

This relationship commemorates Operation Manna, in which planes from RAF Kirmington dropped 3,000 food parcels in April and May 1945.

Kirmington Transport cafe was built there, on the left side of the road as you left Kirmington - where the airport is today (2024) and run by Thomas Andrew of Barton-upon-Humber in the 1960s and early 1970s until it was bought to build the airport there.
