From Arborfield Hall towards Arborfield Grange and Church Lane

Arborfield Hall was requisitioned during WWII for use by the RAF, and then by the US Army.  The field between the Hall (top left) and the Grange (bottom right corner) has been heavily marked by Army vehicles.

The remains of the old church can just be seen among the trees.
