Memorial Chapel to St Mary of the Flowering Betuwe
This Chapel was erected in 1946 in commemoration of heavy fighting that took place around this area in September-October 1944 following the Market Garden Operation. On 1 October there was a fierce battle between the 7th Green Howards and the 10th Panzer Division who attacked this high point (the land generally is so flat that any slight rise of a few feet is deemed to be a hill). The Chapel has been lovingly attended by the Jansen Family - by Kurt who came daily to change the flowers until his death in 1991, and then by his niece Grada. The display of flowers and plants is beautiful. Inside are several photos, a tribute by Grada to her uncle and a poem by an English veteran praising her faithfulness. Date: 2000
