Our team name, Castle Saints, is inspired by the rich heritage of Cottingham — a place where history and community have long stood side by side.

At the heart of the village is St Mary’s Church, a beautiful and enduring symbol of faith that dates back to the 13th century. Its tower has watched over generations, serving not just as a place of worship, but as a cornerstone of local identity and continuity.

Just a short distance away once stood Baynard Castle, a medieval stronghold believed to have been built in the 12th century. Though little remains today, it played a significant role in Cottingham’s past, representing strength, protection, and resilience.

By bringing these two historic landmarks together, Castle Saints reflects both the spiritual heritage of St Mary’s and the enduring legacy of Baynard Castle — a name rooted in pride, history, and community spirit.
