How wonderful it is to see people from as far away as Australia and America write in but it's equally fantastic to hear from those still local to Caston and elsewhere in the UK.
Your comments will be very welcome.

Miss You All
We lived in Stow Bedon for several years and spent much time in the Red Lion and the Village Hall. We still fondly remember those "coffee mornings" on Fridays.
We miss you all!
We miss you all!

Caston Family
Is the village related to the Caston family? I can trace my Castons back to 4 time great grandfather William Caston 1792-1854 and his father Joseph Caston. William was a gardener but where...?

Sir John de Caston
AKA Sir John A. Swete (Knight of Caston 1380). Looking for some history on Caston in the 1400. My relatives came to the USA in 1637 (John Swete)and the Sweets have their own cemetary in Salem, Rhode Island. Some migrated to Alberta Canada. I live in British Columbia Canada. Looking to connect with family in Caston. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, CJ Sweet.

George King
Sorting out correspondence of a friend who has just had her 100th birthday and found a note from George King who resided at Broome cottage in Caston. There is reference to his time spent at Henlow camp, just coming home to Caston for weekends. If anyone has any knowledge it would be great to pass it on to her.

My great Grandfather was from the village of Caston. He then moved to Gloucester, then to Wales when he had my Grandfather Albert Caston being the youngest of 9 Children. My grandfather was born in 1892, died 1956, age 64. Not sure if this helps in any way.

Would this be RAF Watton? He died in Dec 1956 registered in Wayland D.C. Is there a church burial plan for Caston?

Peeke-Vout
Hello all,
I came across your website when I was doing a bit of research on my family. My Great Grandmother was Deborah Lowe Peeke-Vout (1851) who used to live in Caston. She married William Knott (1840-1905). I wondered if there were any relatives of the Knott or (Lowe) Peeke-Vout family still in the village. These were the parents of my grandmother Alice Knott who married Sidney Brown and live in Whittlsea Cambs. Would love to put the pieces together.

Hello Pam
You and I have corresponded and I have spoken to the lady resident here who is of the Peek Vout family and she has confirmed that she would prefer you to let me have your telephone number by email which I will then pass on to her and she can then contact you. I'll await hearing from you.

Lost relative
I have been researching my paternal family. This includes a Smith family who were born in Great Hockham. One of the sons Victor Smith married twice; 1. Alice Cator 2. Ethel Hook and they lived in Stow Bedon. He had three children with his two wives. However he is also said to have had an illegitimate daughter "Jean" who would now be in her late eighties and may have been born in Caston. Her half sister dearly wishes to make contact with Jean and I am trying to help locate her missing relative. Is anyone able to help at all? I know after all this time the likelihood of finding her is remote but any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Newspapers
Does anyone in Caston have surplus CLEAN newspapers that they do not require anymore. I need CLEAN newspapers urgently for part of the bedding with my rescue guinea pigs. Please e-mail if you can help. Thank you.
