The parish of Caister, or to give it today's formal name Caister-onSea, lies in the extreme east of the county forming part of its eastern coastline. Caister is located roughly 4 miles north of the port & resort of Great Yarmouth and sits on the former route of the A149 which links Great Yarmouth with North Walsham & Cromer. Caister has a long history as it has a Roman fort site enclosed within the village, at the time of Roman occupation the area now known as Flegg was an island dominating the waterways of The Broads, the fort served to guard the mouth of that channel. Caister's other ancient monument is its "castle" at West Caister which was built in the 15th century for Sir John Falstoff of Shakespearean fame and is said to have required 1.7 million bricks to build. West Caister also holds the ruin of St Edmund's church which has no records surviving for this transcript period. At the start of this transcript Caister would appear, from the occupations listed, to have been a largely arable farming community. It is only from the 1840s onwards that maritime occupations such as fisherman, coast guard and beach man start to dominate the records. A substantial beach-based fishing enterprise boomed with the herring trade from that period onwards bringing substantial growth to the village. The arrival of the Midland & Great Northern railway, now closed and largely followed by the re-routed A149, allowed swift dispatch of the caught fish to markets in the Midlands and to London. The railway also brought tourism to the town which has become something of a mixed blessing with a swamping of caravan sites dominating the village. The village's proximity to Great Yarmouth has also seen commuter growth and as the port has spread northwards it is only the town's horse and greyhound race tracks that keep Caister from becoming contiguous.

Holy Trinity church sits on the northern side of Norwich road, the former route of the A149, and stands in slightly incongruous opposition to a large budget supermarket. Holy Trinity is a church that received such a "fierce restoration", as Pevsner puts it, that it has become difficult to do more than give indicative dates for its main features. Enough remains of original features to place the nave's origins to the 13th century, a single remaining lancet window as proof of those Early English Gothic origins. A southern aisle was added c1300 and was quickly followed by the tower a decade or two later, the Decorated style utilised here being echoed in the chancel albeit with Perpendicular style in the latter's east window. All of these token details indicate a church built in the late 13th century and successively modified in the early and later 14th century. The restoration of 1894 made major changes to obliterate all other dating details as well as replacing entirely the arcade. Visiting the church is made rather simple by an extensive lay-by outside the entrance where a flint & brick-walled path slices through to the church. A few trees marr the southern aspects making for a challenge for the photographer to adequately capture the landscape view.
