This church is situated inside the STANTA military battle training area and I visited on 26th March 2010 with special permission from the MoD. The area was originally established in 1942 when a battle training area was required. Military exercises were already known in the area; tanks had trained at Thetford in the First World War. The complete takeover involved the evacuation of the villages of Buckenham Tofts, Langford, Stanford, Sturston, Tottington and West Tofts. All residents were evactuated in 1942.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/5451/10358888-1b64-452a-b08c-7f6cef0b4f03.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) [Photo](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/5451/10358888-1b64-452a-b08c-7f6cef0b4f03.jpg) by [Nicholas Mutton](https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15201) ([Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)) ![All Saints Church, Stanford This is All Saints church, Stanford.
