Saxthorpe in Norfolk, a little south of Holt, was a Home Defence landing ground in WWI that opened in 1916. It was home to 51 squadron who were operating Avro 504ks and Sopwith Camels from early 1918.
The airfield closed in 1919 and since it was only ever a grass field there is no longer any sign of its existence save the memorial at nearby St Andrews church.
