The St. Peter and St. Paul Churchyard in the Bedfordshire village of Cranfield is the final resting place of four WW1 and eleven WW2 casualties commemorated by the CWGC. A number of the WW2 graves are linked to the former RAF Cranfield Air Station, including pilots under training at the No.14 Service Flying Training School which operated from the airfield until 1941.

Ample on-street parking within a short walking distance. No facilites or toilets on site.

Wheelchair users and pushchairs are welcome but will need to stay on the main paths within the cemetery.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear suitable footwear.

The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF) aims to actively engage all communities with the work of the CWGC by telling the inspiring stories through education and outreach projects.

The CWGF is an independent charity registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales (1171947) and Scotland (SC051982).
