Earsham


All Saints Church The main aisle in Earsham All Saints. Memorial to American Airman.

On a visit to Earsham, we were intrigued as to why this memorial to only one serviceman was placed there.  We now have researched Louis Whitechester and can relate something of his life, but still don’t know why this memorial was placed  in Earsham.
