Saint John the Baptist Churchyard
Scampton, Lincolnshire County, England

High Street, Scampton, Lincolnshire, LN5 2SE

Churchyard can be found by taking the A15 trunk road north out of Lincoln. Then turn left on to the A1500 about two miles outside of Lincoln. After about a mile turn right onto the B1398, which takes you to Scampton.

This churchyard is very well maintained. It contains war graves of British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and German airmen. It is still used for burials.
