Women's Institute Cawston

<p>Photo above: 90th Birthday, 2nd February 2011.</p>
<p>The Women's Institute started on the 23rd February 1921 with 52 members. Members marked their 90th birthday with a special celebration at the same venue as it did 90 years ago at the Cecil Cawston Memorial Institute (Village Hall Cawston).<br /><br />The WI was finally able to celebrate its 100th birthday with a garden party at The Bell in Cawston in the summer of 2022. The celebration had been delayed a year because of the Covid 19 pandemic.</p>
<p>Sadly in 2021 the WI ceased to exixt. However in 2022 a new group has risen from the ashes, the appropriately named Phoenix Ladies Circle (PLC) with plans to meet regularly at the village hall. The WI has donated a number of items to the Cawston Historical Society. Including two photograph albums.<span>.</span></p>

Booton Clay Pits.
<img src="http://www.cawstonheritage.co.uk/files/original/4313108c1baf0bf87a32c1a64d430193.jpg" width="350" height="205" />
Formed here when men once dug clay at a penny a yard (cubic), earning a meagre 35 to 40 pence a week at a time when the local weaving industry was in decay. The Cawston Fishing Club use and look after Booton Clay Pits which is owned by the Parish of Cawston, the Cawston Heath Trust oversees the management.
CLAY LUMP: Clay lump building continued far into the 19th century. The clay was mixed with straw and made into blocks, which were well dried before they were used, the mortar usually consisting of wet clay and cow-dung. The clay diggers were paid one penny for every cubic yard of clay, and a week's work would only realise about 50 pence. Men who had been put out of work by the decay of the weaving industry in East Anglia were often glad to seek this employment.
