The tiny village of Castor (pop. 550) was so named because it occupies the site of a Roman camp ("castrum") called Durobrivae. According to the inscription on the doorway, the Norman church was consecrated to St Cyneburga, daughter of King Penda of Mercia, in 1124. Inside the church the 14th century wall paintings repay close inspection.
