Visitors
This visitor's page is here to allow you to make comments which can be contentious or complimentary; can be about the village, the parish council, the web-site or indeed any other matter of concern or interest to the village and villagers of Caston. 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.
Please don't leave without letting us know you were here and, particularly if you are outside of Caston, then the area you come from. (The last ten comments are shown in full but click on the headlines of the others in order to reveal them.)

Thank you
I will try and find out about LMA House.
Her name was Frances Rogers, born 19th May 1857, widowed by 1939.
It looks very much like Alma House (opposite the Old Black Horse)

I am visiting your site because my Great Great Grandfather, John Rivett, was listed as a Police Constable in Hockham, but some of his children from his marriage to Susanna Noble, were baptized at Holy Cross in Caston.
I am in the state of Illinois, Land of Lincoln, in the US.
Thank you.

The application is to build a house on land at the rear of Homefield House, The Street, Caston. If this were to be approved then this would set a building line which WOULD POTENTIALLY OPEN UP THE ENTIRE FIELD TO YET ANOTHER ESTATE DEVELOPMENT.
Grounds to oppose this include
1. that the proposed building is stated in the planning application as being on land referred to as garden. In fact a large proportion of this plot is actually agricultural land and lies beyond the boundaries of the property 'Homefield House' and
2. that it would be a backfill development behind an existing proprty (Homefield House).
