Kettering, Northamptonshire
In Kettering, Northamptonshire, hand-carved statues of Saint Christopher stand in both St. Edwards Parish Church, (Catholic), and St. Peter & St. Paul Parish Church, (Church of England). These statues were presented to the churches in 1945 by the men of the 384th Zebra (NCO) and Officers Clubs. An official dedication was held on May 13, 1979.
A silver chalice and paten set were presented to St. Edwards Church in memory of the men and families of the 384th Bombardment Group (H), and the American and British fighter pilots. The presentation took place on May 13, 1979. A Foundation Mass is held each May as long as St. Edwards Church is in existence.
The belfry of St. Paul and St. Peter Parish Church was re-built and new bells were installed. One bell, called the American Bell, is inscribed to the 384th Bombardment Group (H). The bells were commemorated on May 11, 1980.
