Little Catwick is a hamlet lying close by.
Catwick is one of only five Thankful Villages in all Yorkshire, these are those places few and far between which suffered no fatalities of their men during the Great War of 1914 to 1918. It is Twice-Thankful indeed, which is to say that all its young men returned alive after the Second World War also: just a handful of villages have been so blessed.
At the 2001 census, Catwick and Little Catwick together had a population of 215.
