Church history
The Church of St John The Baptist
The church has a huge chancel, with a very high arch. Towards the bottom end of the grounds there is a small military cemetery with graves from several nationalities from World War 2 and the Korean War and one grave from World War 1. The churchyard contains 31 graves maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. These include 11 Canadian servicemen who died while North Luffenham was a RCAF base in the 1950s. There is a small stained glass window which commemorated those who served in the Royal Air Force, The Canadian Air Force and the Allied Air Force who served at RAF North Luffenham between the years 1940 and 1998. The legend on the window reads:
