History

During the Second World War a large RAF airfield was constructed on land close to the Ossington estate, known as RAF Station Ossington.

It opened on Sun 18 Jan 1942 as the home for Number 14 (Pilot) Advanced Flying Unit (No 14 (P) AFU) and transferred to No. 93 (Training) Group RAF Bomber Command in 1943. Finally in January 1945 it transferred to RAF Transport Command No 6 Lancaster Finishing School.

It closed in August 1946. The hall formed part of the accommodation for the airfield.
