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. 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. 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. 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. 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. From the Roman Times- Cawston is not lacking in reminders of this period in our history. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. From the Roman Times- Cawston is not lacking in reminders of this period in our history. 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. 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. 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.

They made beautiful pottery including decorated beakers, and they used bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) for their tools and weapons. They also used simple ploughs. The bronze axe-head in the picture was found in Cawston and in i960 a burial urn of the Bronze Age was found by workmen digging a post-hole on the West side of our school gates. It contained the bones of a young man, and is now kept in the Castle Museum at Norwich. Such urns were often enclosed in a circular mound or "barrow" ; weapons and food were often buried too for use in the future life. Some wealthy chieftains of this time settled in West Norfolk and some of their ornaments and torques of gold have been found.

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. 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.

They also learnt to build huts to weave cloth, and to grow crops , They banded together to hunt wolves, wild boars, and other fierce creatures. Norfolk flint was particularly good for "knapping" into axes and knives, flint was mined near Thetford, at "Grimes' Graves", The axe shown in the picture was found in Cawston. After many more centuries men began to settle in villages instead of living as nomads . We believe that several families probably lived not far from where our Church now stands, in a clearing on the slopes to the East of the stream we call Salle Beck.
