Low Catton is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, the the east of York and seven miles north-west of its nearest market town, Pocklington. The village is about a mile south of the village of Stamford Bridge, which is at the boundary of the North Riding.
The village stands on the east bank of the River Derwent.
The church, All Saints, is a Grade I listed building.[1]
As noted in 1823, Low Catton's parish church was under the patronage of the Earl of Egremont. In the village existed a grammar school with schoolmaster.[2] The population at the time was 177. Occupations included nine farmers, a joiner, a shoemaker, and a curate. There was a yeoman, and the steward to Lord Egremont at Catton Lodge.[3]
