John Barnes
John Barnes was a very good friend of this village and was kind enough to allow much of his books, 'A History of Caston', to be reproduced on this website. More specifically we must also thank John for kindly giving permission for many of the photos reproduced on the Photo Gallery page. John was brought up in Caston and there was very little history about the place that he did not know. Sadly, John passed away in November 2019.
