David & Alyson Asquith
The Old is situated at Cauquigny, just 4 km from the historic town of Sainte Mere Eglise, famous for where paratrooper John Steele was caught on the church spire and the location is central to where the majority of the airborne invasion began as relived on the famous television show ‘Band of Brothers‘ We are just a moment’s walking distance from the memorial to Charles D Glopper and a 10 minutes walk from La Fiere. This year on June 6th 2019 – marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day During the German occupation, the farm and its outbuildings housed a 91st Infantry Division officer and the 20 men under his command, who operated a field post office and communication center here. Later it was used as a German field hospital temporarily during the battle of Normandy, until its liberation by the 82nd Airborne Division
The Old Farm of Amfreville has been lovingly restored by husband and wife team, David and Alyson. They want to ensure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The rooms have been furnished to a high standard – with comfort at the forefront of their minds. David recently retired from the British Army, after 24 years as a military chef. So not only will he share your passion for military events and family ancestry – you can be sure that the attention to detail for breakfast and dinner is as it should be. Both David and Alyson, due to their local knowledge, will be on hand to assist with any enquiries with your itinerary during your stay.
The Old Farm is centrally located at the heart of the Airborne liberation of Normandy. The region of Normandy, is rich with military history including being a short drive from the D-Day landing beaches and also offers some stunning natural scenery, as well as some of the worlds most epic architecture.
