Journey into time

Journey into time

Cawston Primary School reenacted scenes from the past including the duel fought in 1698 as part of their local history studies.

On 30 October 1970 children from Cawston Primary School reenacted various events from the past. These included Saxon girls gathering fuel from the local wood, a young Stone Age couple butchering their catch on Cawston Heath, 19C smugglers crouched in the bushes, the last duel fought in Norfolk and a highwayman waiting to steal money from Mr Johnson in 1786.
