History

The RAF Moreton Valence base was located here in November 1939, but was closed in July 1962.[7] The airfield was located to the East of the main village between the A38 and B4008. The base was mainly used during World War 2,[8] when the Gloster Aircraft Company were located here.[9] Several other RAF buildings were present in the area during the Second World War, including a storage depot which was present between 1944 - 1947,[10] and a Military Camp [11]
