War memorials and military cemetery, adjacent to St Fergus's Church (NJ81NE0009). The World War II memorial, set in front of war graves, comprises a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cross of sacrifice standing on a base of three octagonal steps. The cross is octagonal in section, with an inlaid bronze sword pointing downwards on the front face. There are 56 Commonwealth war graves, one of the First World War, the remainder World War II. The graves are mainly Air Force personnel from several countries, including the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Poland. There is also a section along the southeast wall for Luftwaffe pilots and aircrew who died in this area. Also in the cemetery are two World War I memorial benches.
