High Catton is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It is situated approximately six miles north-west of the nearest market town, Pocklington and about a mile south of the village of Stamford Bridge. Another village, Low Catton and the River Derwent are a mile to the west.
In 1823 High Catton was in the civil parish of Low Catton. Population at the time was 198. Occupations included eleven farmers, a tailor, a joiner & carpenter, a wheelwright, and the landlord of Woodpecker Lass public house. There were also three yeomen. Two carriers operated between the village and York once a week.[1]
