Description
An account of the resource
<p>This lovely area of heathland to the east of Cawston might be considered to have changed little over the centuries. This may be true in some respects, for the birch trees, gorse, and heather continue in their beauty, but our ancestors of the First Elizabethan days would be amazed that today the heath is almost unknown to many of our local inhabitants, and plays little part in their lives. In Tudor times it was of considerable importance, a place where farmers grazed their sheep under the fold-course system, where controlled rabbit warrens provided food, while the villagers had grazing rights for their livestock and relied on the area for their fuel supplies. These resources were jealously guarded by farmer and tenant, rich and poor, and from time to time there were lawsuits to settle problems.</p>
<p>The eastern extremity of the heath is a strip of land extending into Marsham, once known as Dead Man's Hill. Long ago a body was found here, and a dispute arose as to whether Cawston or Marsham should arrange the burial. Cawston accepted responsibility, and our present parish boundary includes this land. Not far away is Gallows Hill, where a gibbet once stood, an unhappy sight for travellers along the old heath road from Marsham. An even older road, possibly pre Roman, leading inland from the coast, passed near Botany Bay Farm, on through Eastgate to Booton, and all the way to Castleacre. This road can be traced on aerial photographs, and in favourable conditions appears as a light track across the fields on the south side of the road to Buxton.</p>
<p>Two local August anniversaries are connected with the heath. The last Duel in Norfolk was fought here on August 20th, 1698, and the story of how Oliver Le Neve killed Sir Henry Hobart is well known, and commemorated by the stone near the Woodrow Garage, a delightful little National Trust site adorned with masses of violets in spring. August too, saw the great Sheep Fair, held over several centuries on the last Wednesday in the month. It has been described as "the greatest sheep show in the country", and brought huge flocks to the surrounding roads, lambs from the west Norfolk breeders being sold to the graziers from the east.</p>
<p>Cawston Heath today, although diminished in size, is well worth a visit at all seasons - but if you go on a hot day in August keep an eye open for adders!</p>
<p>John Kett - 1989</p>
<p>Brief History: 1066: Forest to Heathland - Sheep & Pig grassing. 1400 to 1600: and Rabbit Warren. 1698: Duel on Heath. 1802: The Enclosure Act resulted in the "dividing, allotting, and enclosing of common fields" in Cawston. 1914 to 1918 WW1 and 1939 to 1945 WW2 used for rifle firing range. 1963:16 hectares ploughed up and cropped, turned back to heath in 1993. 1986: Designated a site of special scientific interest. Agreement with Natural England & Managed by Norfolk Wildlife Trust.</p>
<p>In 2014, the Norfolk Wildlife Trust began an ambitious project to restore about four hectares back to open heathland.</p>
<p>After removing the pine and scrub and grinding the stumps, the final process of striping the surface of humus and pine needles was completed to allow heather seeds to germinate.</p>
<p>Once established, this heather-dominated landscrape will again be good habitat for heathland specialities such as woodlarks, nightjars and adders.</p>

Heydon Minstrels
Description
An account of the resource
Despite its name this village concert party had a strong contingent of Cawston members. Originally conceived as a minstrel show by an American airman based at Heydon in 1953 it evolved under the direction of Jim Howard into a variety show with Jim as the Norfolk comedian and compere and his wife Sylvia as pianist.
The group travelled around more than 44 Norfolk villages giving their full length show of sketches and songs for more than twenty years.
As well as the original American members of the cast Cawston was represented by Dewings: Dinah (Aves), Mollie (Mack); Teddy and David; Lees: Lennie, Alan and Roy; Howards: Jim, Sylvia, Mary and Christopher.
Heydon families: Flo and Robert Wadlow; Peggy and Wendy Knowles; Jean Rowe (George).
Taverham: Chris Hurst.

<p>Finds in Cawston:</p>
<p>From time to time men working in the fields of Cawston have found flint tools used by our earliest ancestors, dating from the old stone (Paleolithic) age, about 400,000 years ago.</p>
<p>From the Ice Age- "Blue stones" have been found here, large boulders carried by the glaciers and left when the ice melted. Our maps show Bluestone Plantation in the north of our parish, and Bluestone Station was nearby on the old railway line. At least two "Blue Stones" can be seen today, one near the wall of Church Farm, just inside the entrance, and another by the path near the south porch of our Church.</p>
<p>From the New Stone (Neolithic) age - In Cawston a number of well finished hand axes have been unearthed, one of the best being found by Mr David Lee of Sygate, and presented to the School in 1953. From the Bronze Age- In 1960 when workman digging post holes, on on the west side of the entrance to Cawston School uncovered an Urn, which was to contain bones, at the Castle Museum at Norwich it was identified as a Bronze Age burial urn, the bones being those of a young man.</p>
<p>Tools, weapons, and fragments of food have been found in similar urns, which were usually concealed within a barrow, or circular earthwork. Traces of these barrows have been found in our area, near the Cawston - Marsham boundary on the Heath, and also on the east side of Booton Lane, opposite the hollow near the copse. These were identified on aerial photographs by Mr Richard Clarke. Curator of the Castle Museum, in 1956, they appeared on the photographs as small, dark circles, and at that time it was possible, in favourable conditions, to see them from the high bank near the lane.</p>
<p>A few Bronze Age tools have been found here, notably a small Bronze axe head unearthed in a field near the Woodrow by Mr Frank Allen when ploughing.</p>
<p>From the Iron Age- Beginning about 500 B.C. Little evidence of this period has been found here, but an iron harness ring found in a well-sinking operation near the Woodrow is believed to date from the 1st century of the Christian ere.</p>
<p>From the Roman Times- Cawston is not lacking in reminders of this period in our history.</p>
<p>An air raid in 1942 resulted in the discovery of Roman pottery in bomb craters on the west side of Booton Road, most of it was badly damaged, but a number of pieces are in the Castle Museum. There are also records of the finding of Roman coins in the Parish, including one of the 2nd Century A.D., (Empress Faustina) found when a cellar was being constructed. The late Mr Tom Sayer of Booton Hall noticed a rectangular formation of "crop marks" and believed he had seen the outline of a large Roman building which would not be unlikely as similar evidence of a possible fort has been found in fields at Sygate supported by recent aerial photos (1993.</p>
<p>Further support for these suppositions is provided by the fact that a Roman road passed through Cawston. In the 1950's this ancient way was clearly visible on Cawston Heath and the neighbouring fields opposite Botany Bay Farm, running westwards towards the Holt-Norwich road. Aerial photographs show the road nearer Cawston, continuing past the south of Cawston Wood to Booton and Reepham.</p>
<p>In 1953 a group of students excavated a section of the road on Marsham Heath, it was found to be about 5 metres wide, and composed of five alternative layers of gravel and flint stones. The crop-marks referred to above, near to a Known Roman road, suggest that there may have been one or more Roman Villas near our village. 6th. Century Anglo-Saxon- Mr Pat Waby of Eastgate found while ploughing a form of a ring, 6cm in diameter, 5cm thick, with simple decorations, it was identified at the Castle Museum as a 6th century Anglo-Saxon ring brooch, made of bronze. Barbara Green, who identified it, said that such brooches were usually worn in pairs, one on each shoulder, with beads hanging from them.</p>

<p>Finds in Cawston:</p>
<p>From time to time men working in the fields of Cawston have found flint tools used by our earliest ancestors, dating from the old stone (Paleolithic) age, about 400,000 years ago.</p>
<p>From the Ice Age- "Blue stones" have been found here, large boulders carried by the glaciers and left when the ice melted. Our maps show Bluestone Plantation in the north of our parish, and Bluestone Station was nearby on the old railway line. At least two "Blue Stones" can be seen today, one near the wall of Church Farm, just inside the entrance, and another by the path near the south porch of our Church.</p>
<p>From the New Stone (Neolithic) age - In Cawston a number of well finished hand axes have been unearthed, one of the best being found by Mr David Lee of Sygate, and presented to the School in 1953. From the Bronze Age- In 1960 when workman digging post holes, on on the west side of the entrance to Cawston School uncovered an Urn, which was to contain bones, at the Castle Museum at Norwich it was identified as a Bronze Age burial urn, the bones being those of a young man.</p>
<p>Tools, weapons, and fragments of food have been found in similar urns, which were usually concealed within a barrow, or circular earthwork. Traces of these barrows have been found in our area, near the Cawston - Marsham boundary on the Heath, and also on the east side of Booton Lane, opposite the hollow near the copse. These were identified on aerial photographs by Mr Richard Clarke. Curator of the Castle Museum, in 1956, they appeared on the photographs as small, dark circles, and at that time it was possible, in favourable conditions, to see them from the high bank near the lane.</p>
<p>A few Bronze Age tools have been found here, notably a small Bronze axe head unearthed in a field near the Woodrow by Mr Frank Allen when ploughing.</p>
<p>From the Iron Age- Beginning about 500 B.C. Little evidence of this period has been found here, but an iron harness ring found in a well-sinking operation near the Woodrow is believed to date from the 1st century of the Christian ere.</p>
<p>From the Roman Times- Cawston is not lacking in reminders of this period in our history.</p>
<p>An air raid in 1942 resulted in the discovery of Roman pottery in bomb craters on the west side of Booton Road, most of it was badly damaged, but a number of pieces are in the Castle Museum. There are also records of the finding of Roman coins in the Parish, including one of the 2nd Century A.D., (Empress Faustina) found when a cellar was being constructed. The late Mr Tom Sayer of Booton Hall noticed a rectangular formation of "crop marks" and believed he had seen the outline of a large Roman building which would not be unlikely as similar evidence of a possible fort has been found in fields at Sygate supported by recent aerial photos (1993.</p>
<p>Further support for these suppositions is provided by the fact that a Roman road passed through Cawston. In the 1950's this ancient way was clearly visible on Cawston Heath and the neighbouring fields opposite Botany Bay Farm, running westwards towards the Holt-Norwich road. Aerial photographs show the road nearer Cawston, continuing past the south of Cawston Wood to Booton and Reepham.</p>
<p>In 1953 a group of students excavated a section of the road on Marsham Heath, it was found to be about 5 metres wide, and composed of five alternative layers of gravel and flint stones. The crop-marks referred to above, near to a Known Roman road, suggest that there may have been one or more Roman Villas near our village. 6th. Century Anglo-Saxon- Mr Pat Waby of Eastgate found while ploughing a form of a ring, 6cm in diameter, 5cm thick, with simple decorations, it was identified at the Castle Museum as a 6th century Anglo-Saxon ring brooch, made of bronze. Barbara Green, who identified it, said that such brooches were usually worn in pairs, one on each shoulder, with beads hanging from them.</p>
