==History==
Paston is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.〔The Domesday Book, Englands Heritage, Then and Now, Editor: Thomas Hinde,Norfolk page 192 ISBN 1-85833-440-3〕 In the survey Paston is known by the name ‘Pastuna’ with the main tenant landowner being William de Warenne. It also mentions the church and a mill in the parish. From about 1400, the village was dominated by a family called Paston. Clement Paston was a small landowner who saved enough money to have his son, William (1378–1444), educated as a lawyer and ultimately become a judge. The family went on to acquire lands throughout the county and became notably wealthy. Indeed, there is an old saying in Norfolk that 'There was never a Paston poor, a Heydon a coward or a Cornwallis a fool.'〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/middle_ages/pastonletters_01.shtml, accessed 30 June 2009〕 The family are remembered today mostly for their remarkable collection of private and business letters (the Paston Letters) that remain from the fifteenth century.〔Davis (1983), pp xiii-xxviii〕 In 1597 Sir William Paston (1528–1610) moved the main family residence to Oxnead.〔Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Sir William Paston (1528-1610); www.oxforddnb.com; accessed 30 June 209〕 The last Paston of the male line, the 2nd Earl of Yarmouth, died in 1732.〔Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, William Paston (1653/4-1732), 2nd Earl of Yarmouth; www.oxforddnb.com; accessed 30 June 2009〕 The Paston estate was then acquired by Lord Anson, passing in the early nineteenth century to the Mack family.〔Yaxley (1977), p 102〕 The village was served by Paston & Knapton railway station on the North Walsham to Cromer section of the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway from 1881 until 1964.
