Caistor St Edmunds, Norfolk

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A small village near Norfolk, Caister St Edmunds is best known as the location of Venta Iscenorum, the capital of the Iceni tribe at the time of the Roman conquest. A rebellion by the Iceni leader, Boudicca (Boadicea) almost brought the Roman rule to an end. The remains of the Roman town can be visited, as can the old parish church of St Edmund's, which stands in a corner of the Roman town site. The church incorporates plenty of Roman stone in its walls, doors, and windows, and there are faint medieval wall paintings visible in the interior.
