A parish and pleasant village on a bold elevation above the Yare, nine
miles E. by S. of Norwich, comprises 907 acres of land, 12 houses, and 56
souls. Sir Wm. B. Proctor, Bart. owns all the land (except 37a. of
glebe), and is lord of the manor, and patron of the living. The church,
dedicated to St. Nicholas, a venerable structure, with an octagonal
tower, was thoroughly repaired in 1820.

CAISTOR.
A small and scattered village and parish, in Henstead hundred, East
Norfolk; distant 2 miles from Swainsthorpe station, 110 from London, and
3 miles from Norwich; contained in 1851, 154 inhabitants, and 1020 acres
of land. This unimportant village was once a flourishing city and
fortified town, also a Roman station of great importance; traces of its
walls, &c., are still to be seen. The church is a small building, and
the living is a rectory in the gift of Mrs. Dashwood, of Caistor Hall,
who is also lady of the manor; the incumbent is the Rev. John Arthy.
Caistor is supposed to be the capital of the Iceni, a Belgic tribe, and
was by the Romans called Venta Icenorum; and for distinction, Castrum,
the camp, whence the East English on their conquest of the country,
called it Caistor. Many Roman antiquities have been found here, and the
camp and Roman tower were preserved from intended destruction by a
railway.
