Caistor Saint Edmunds

A council backs plans for 178 homes, a 420-place school and a country park.

Venta Icenorum – or Caistor St Edmund – was the smallest Roman regional capital in Britain.

A community dig unearths Iron Age activity in "one of the most intriguing areas of the Roman town".

Objects including made from pottery and bone were deliberately buried beside a temple, a dig finds.

A field bordering a temple site is to be dug after surveys reveal more possible buildings.

Trees are shedding their leaves, crops are dying and berries drying up, says a Norfolk farmer.

The car park would be paid for by housing developers but there are doubts over the plans going ahead.
