Castor, Cambridgeshire history

Roman

Roman buildings covered an area of 290 by 130 m (3.77 ha) and had at least 11 rooms with tessellated floors and mosaics, at least two bathhouses and several hypocausts. The Praetorium may be connected with the town of Durobrivae (modern Water Newton) on the other side of the river Nene.

Early medieval

Kyneburgha married Alhfrith of Deira, co-regent of Northumbria. She later founded an abbey for both monks and nuns in Castor. Her remains were translated, before 972, to Peterborough Abbey, now Peterborough Cathedral.

Late medieval

The Robin Hood and Little John Standing Stones were erected between the 12th and 14th centuries. They were erected in an agreement with the abbot of Peterborough Abbey that tolls would not be levied on the passage of stone from the abbey’s quarries at Barnack.

Modern

Castor and the neighbouring parish of Ailsworth were not enclosed until 1898. The London and North Western Railway branch line between Northampton and Peterborough passes through the parish. It was opened in 1845, including Castor railway station built to serve the village.
