- Great Casterton is a village in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It is located at the crossing of the Roman Ermine Street and the River Gwash. The village is approximately three miles to the north-west of Stamford and very close to the county border with Lincolnshire. Just to the north is Tickencote. The A1 road which follows the path of Ermine Street, ran through the centre of the village until the construction of the Stamford bypass in 1960; the former route of the Great North Road is now the B1081. The earliest recorded settlement was a Roman fort in the year 44 AD. A civilian settlement developed which was later a walled town and the defences are still apparent. Archaeological excavations have been conducted on the town, a villa near the Gwash and burials including early Anglo-Saxons. The village has both a primary school (Great Casterton Church of England Primary School) and a secondary school. The village church, dedicated to St Peter & St Paul is entered via an arched war memorial remembering both the First and Second world wars. The benefice is shared with Tickencote and Little Casterton. There are two pubs in the village, the Plough Inn and the Crown Inn. There is a very small nature reserve, Great Casterton Road Banks, to the south of the village containing examples of rare plants such as Sulphur Clover and Greater Broomrape.
- Great Casterton è un villaggio della contea inglese di Rutland, nelle Midlands Orientali, ubicata all'incrocio della romana Ermine Street e del fiume Gwash. Si trova a circa tre miglia a nord-ovest di Stamford nel Lincolnshire e davvero molto vicina al confine col Lincolnshire. Le prime testimonianze archeologiche risalgono al 44 e sono di un forte romano, da cui poi si sviluppò l'insediamento civile.
