Holt - Norwich Road
Description
An account of the resource
<p>Old County directories refer to the Woodrow as being one of Cawston's three "scattered hamlets". along with Eastgate and Sygate. There is much to interest the local historian in the anecdotes concerning this area.</p>
<p>Many of us remember the impressive "gallows sign" of the former Woodrow Inn, which was suspended over the road, the old "turnpike". It was a useful point of reference when advising visitors how to find Cawston from the Norwich road. This inn was visited on 16th December 1821 by William Cobbett, the political writer and reformer, on one of his "rural rides". He described how he stopped at the public house kept by Mr. Pern and his wife, "on the side of the great road at some distance from the village", and went on to tell how "Mr. Pern and a young miller wished to take us into the village, where they would have rung the bells for us". He went on to say how pleased he was with his reception at Cawston, but it was a pity he did not accept the invitation and leave us a word picture of our Church at that time.</p>
<p>At the Woodrow Crossroads, where the B.1145 crosses the B.1149, a succession of car accidents resulted in a clearance of the verges, which was welcomed by the wild flower population. Yellow broom, poppies, and other smaller flowers in their season are to be seen there, and a few years ago naturalists went to the spot to see the Great (or Ho ary) Mullein, a striking plant about four feet high, with yellow flowers and leaves covered with woolly down.</p>
<p>Farther along towards Holt, near the railway bridge, stands the milestone indicating eleven miles from Norwich. This stone featured in a report in the "Norwich Mercury" in February, 1786, for near it, "a highwayman, well mounted, attacked Mr. Johnson of Haydon, presented a pistol at his breast, and robbed him of fourteen shillings in silver and halfpence." Such hold ups were not infrequent in this locality, and resulted in the closure of the Crown Inn, which was reputed to be a haunt of highwaymen. This inn was probably near the present Dix House. In those days the road from Cawston to Aylsham ran from Chapel Street, past Woodrow Farm and Woodrow House, to the northern end of the lake that feeds the water falls, where it joined the present road to Aylsham.</p>
<p>From the Parish Magazine July 1989.</p>

An account of the resource
<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>
