<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>

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).

She started a Scout group at Cawston In 1932 and formed a troop at Roughton when she moved to West Runton a year later.</p>
<p> In 1943, she re-formed the West Runton Scout Group and became Assistant District Commissioner for North Norfolk, being promoted to District Commissioner for Sheringham in 1952. Although she retired from her post in 1967. she remained a member of the West Runton Executive Committee.</p>

<h4>Scout Meeting Places 1920's by Mr Wilfred E. Tubby - 1/8/99</h4>
<p>THe Cawston Scout Group Headquarters was opened by Miss Avis Marsh in June 22nd 1985.</p>
<p>THE DISPUTE OVER THE SCOUT'S HUT</p>
<p>In the E.D.P. was a report, that the hut used by the scouts for about 70 years, that is wrong, no hut was there at that time. Scouts yes, and a time before that. I joined the 1st Cawston Scout Group in March 1920, as a Wolf Cub, then in the Scouts four years later. Our meeting place was a small room, next to the rectory little kitchen, it had a floor like you would find in a stable, was hardly room to move, then later on, the Rev. T.H. Marsh let us have some buildings at the bottom of the rectory property, backing on to Goose pie Lane. We cleaned all the muck out, and M.D. Howard and Son did all the work on it, and made us a good room.</p>
<p>We got up a concert to raise funds to pay for it, we had two nights, had a full house each time, tickets cost 9 pence and 6 pence. Got enough to pay for it. We also did the same show at Holt, Reepham and Salle.</p>
<p>A Miss Chamber, from West Runton, did some charcoal drawings on the walls. I was a senior scout and helped Rev. Haylock of Booton and Brandiston to run Booton scouts until he moved away, the helper, the late Tom Sayer.</p>

<h4>New street leading to Church Lane and Ames Court - Named after the Rev Ames and famiy and Back Lane.</h4>
<h4>New Street From Memory Lane Early 1900’s by Stanley Oakes.</h4>
<p>New Street - early 1900's: On the right coming from the Aylsham Road was Marshall Howard's builders yard, he employed about 30 men of different trades. On the left were Mr and Mrs Sally Hill, who were cattle drovers, they would walk driving cattle to Norwich and bring back those that were sold at the sale, arriving at Horsford giving the animals a rest, arriving at Cawston in the early hours of Sunday morning.</p>
<p>A little further. on was Mr. Isaac Dent's general stores. Opposite this was Mr. Billy Wrights barber shop, two pence to cut a boy's hair, three pence for an adult. A little further down was a bakery, managed by Mr Pull and his wife. Next door was the village sweep Mr Brett.</p>
<p>On the other side was the Lamb Public House. Milk was brought into the village by Mr Tom Barrett (farmer) of Swanington, by house and cart, with a large churn, and a two gallon carrying can, with two metal measures hanging inside. I used to do part of the village before school and Saturday evenings. I would serve Goose pie, the last call would be the sergeants mess, which was the last house on the left. After I had served them they would make me sit down to a plate of two large slices of roast beef, or mutton, they saved all the jam jars for me, for which I got a half pence each.</p>
<h4>New Street From the Parish magazine 1995 by Dennis W. Easton.</h4>
<p>New Street was a busy street in the past. The Lamb was a good pub in its early days Hutton kept it also a butchers shop in the yard. Mr Chaffey said to Billy one dinner time bring Johnny Walker to school this afternoon. Billy said who is Johnny Walker. Mr Chaffey said ask your mother. Of course it was a bottle of whisky!</p>
<p>On the other side of the street was Brett the chimney sweep, later taken over by his son-in-law Joe Hudson who did it for many years. One play time at school. as we played mostly on the road. the sweep went past with his horse and cart and the name on the side was Joe Hudson. Practical Chimney Sweep, Mr Chaffey stood outside. I think I was about eleven. I said to him. Sir what does practical mean. He told me lets see if anyone else knows.</p>
<p>Next door to them was a baker's shop. this was run by Frank Pull. later by Fred Gooch. Lots of us still in the village went to school with his son Fred. also a girl who they brought up Alice Payne. Dent took it on when they left; this was the start of Dent's Bakery which is now part of Marsham's Garage. Dent had a shop and yard, it was a shop where you could buy anything. iron mongery. garden tools, etc. Vans travelled all over the district for miles around. He employed a lot of labour. Boys just left school started with him. He also farmed at Perry's Lane Cawston and Belaugh near Wroxham.</p>
<p>At the top of the street was M.D. Howard Builder and undertaker he employed a lot of men at one time. He had a yard, a portable steam engine and saw bench where they used to saw full size oak trees into coffin boards. In my day I have seen Eddie Cox only a young man then with two of Mr W Payne's horses on a big gill. bringing the trees into the wood yard. Later years M. D. Howard and Son, this place was sold to I & M Tubby Builders. There has been many changers there in the last few years, good luck to them. 1 have known that place since 1923 when I first started school, that school is no longer there.</p>
<p>On the other side of the street was The White Horse, this has never been a pub in my time. I have heard my father say when they had Fairs at Cawston, Horse Sales were held in New Street and they used to trot the horse down the street for the buyers. This was the first Car Repair Shop and that which is now a butchers was a Cycle Shop owned by Cecil Kybird.<br /><br />Click on file to view....</p>

Cawston Village Sign and Name
Cawston Name:-
It is believed the Cawston Name probably originated in the Dark Ages in the 8th and 9th Centuries, the area was settled by Scandinavians who's leading family was called Kalf, hence Kalf Tun. In the Domesday survey of 1086 our village is called CAUPSTUNA and in later years it became CAUSTON then CAWSTON
In 1937 the Cawston Sign was carved and painted by Mr. H. Carter of Swaffham, it was unveiled as a memorial of the Coronation of King George V1, by H.M. Lieut, of the County, Mr Colman and given by the Parish Council, the centre panel shows a weaver at his loom, and 4 smaller panels depict St. Agnes, to whom our Church is dedicated, a Dualstone, the "brazen gauntlet" symbol of John of Gaunt, once Lord of the Manor and a Ploughman.
The B/W 1937 photo is of the sign located at the entrance of the railway station on the Reepham road, it is now located at Church Close, Booton Road. The sign was renovated by Mr Richard Howard on its 40th birthday in Jubilee year 1977 and erected in a new location at Church Close.
New Sign:- In 2001 the sign was removed and a new sign was erected made from aluminium by Soanes signs, Shortthorne Road, Stratton Strawless at a cost of £2.450.00.
The old original sign was repainted in 2003 by Soanes Signs at the cost of £500.00 and is now in Cawston Church....
