It is presumed that the Stone Street Roman road runs from Dunwich in Suffolk to Caistor St Edmund.

[2] In the Domesday Book of 1086, Caistor St Edmund is recorded as a settlement of 26 households in the hundred of Henstead.

[citation needed] Listed buildings within Caistor include The Old Rectory (Eighteenth Century)[6] and Queen Anne Cottage (c.1729).

[9] The church has had many additions and repairs made to it over the years with stone from Venta Icenorum and also boasts a large, carved font.

Caistor St. Edmund's war memorial is a limestone octagonal cross with a crucifix on its eastern front which was unveiled by Reverend J. C. Warren in 1922.
