Caistor in the Lincolnshire Wolds
Caistor is an
attractive Georgian market town with a history dating back to Roman
times and beyond. It is unique in it's architecture and location and is
regularly described by experts as a 'jewel'. It has 56 Grade II listed
buildings, two Scheduled Ancient Monuments and over 160 significant
archaeological finds. In numerical terms, the number of listed
buildings makes Caistor the most important Conservation Area in West
Lindsey. It is ideally situated for residents and business alike with
easy access to
the whole of the North Lincolnshire area being located on the north
western edge of the
Lincolnshire Wolds,
in an Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV) and adjacent to an
area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB), on the
Viking Way just
off
the A46 between Lincoln and Grimsby at the A46 / A1084 / A1173 / B1225
Junction.
Humberside International Airport
is only 7.5 miles away, M180: 9 miles, Port of Immingham: 12 miles,
Grimsby: 13 miles, Scunthorpe: 17 miles, Lincoln: 25 miles, Hull: 26
miles, M18: 35 miles, M62: 42 miles, A1(M): 46 miles, M1: 58 miles.
The original Roman wall can be seen on the southern boundary of the
Parish Church of St. Peter and
St. Paul
which dates back to saxon times.
The town has 3 excellent schools:
Caistor Yarborough,
Caistor C of E &
Methodist Primary School and
Caistor Grammar School
founded in 1631 which is one of the most highly respected in the
country.
The original town was ravaged by fire in 1681 and the present buildings
in the town centre date from that time.
The Sessions House previously occupied by the WRVS was built in 1662
and was one of the few buildings which survived the fire. The town
centre consists of a street pattern based on a series of
interconnecting squares; Market Place, Butter Market, Cornhill and
Horse Market.
The largest sheep fairs in England were held in Caistor in 1858 when
60,000 sheep were sold.
An Act of Parliament in 1793 authorised the construction of the Caistor
Canal for exporting the surplus agricultural produce of North
Lincolnshire. The canal ran from the New River Ancholme near Creampoke
in Kelsey Carrs (4 miles south of Brigg) in an easterly direction to
Moortown (3 miles west of Caistor). It is 4 miles long and has 6 locks.
The canal never reached Caistor but was opened about 1800. It was not
used after 1855 and was officially abandoned in 1936. Navigation Lane
which was to be the route of the canal is now a road which serves a
number of housing developments to the West of the town.
Caistor was for many years the administrative centre for the whole
North Lincolnshire area and was head of a rural district and county
court district and also a petty sessional division, instituted in 1890.
All births, deaths and marriages for the Great Grimsby, Caistor and
Market Rasen Districts were registered here until 1936. The Registrar
still carries out that function for the Caistor area from their office
in South Dale.
Caistor Rural District Council had it's offices at 19 South Street
before it moved to the purpose built offices in South Dale where it
remained until local government re-organisation in 1974 when it became
West Lindsey District Council (WLDC) and it's headquarters moved to
Gainsborough, some 27 miles away. The Magistrates Court Service used
the premises at 19 South Street until it's closure in 2003.
Lincolnshire County Council have converted the building in to a
Multi-Use Centre and offices, which opened on 7th October 2006.
During the second world war from 1940 - 45, Caistor was an RAF base
firstly being used by 264 Squadron flying Defiant night-fighters and
later undertook a training role under the control of the RAF Flying
College at Cranwell. The station was returned to agricultural use in
1945 but was used again by the RAF between 1959 and 1963 in the role of
a Thor missile base. Today the site is once more used for agriculture.
The town has a population of 2,700. Market day is Saturday and early
closing day is Wednesday although many shops do not adhere to
this any more.
