The parish of Caston is located in the western part of
central Norfolk about 3 miles southeast of the market town of Watton.
Caston is a substantial village built around a square of lanes just west
of the B1077 road which links Watton with Attleborough. Caston is built
on the edge of Norfolk's Breckland, to the east lies the fertile Mid-Norfolk
plains whilst to its west the soils become poorer and heathland &
forestry production starts to appear. Caston is a substantial village,
its population in 1831 was over a thousand souls and most would have been
involved with farming or ancillary trades. The village is notable for
the number of wheelwrights or perhaps they were merely more prolific.

Two standard 800-entry register books cover the period of the transcript. The first runs to 1859 and is filmed on Microfilm MF1646, the second completes the transcript period and runs onwards to 1945 and is filmed on Microfilm MF1647 - both films in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office which were used to prepare this transcript. Both films are comparatively recent filmings making their quality better than the average. As a result this was a relatively straightforward transcript to prepare and it is hoped few errors will have been created by the transcriber. |
