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]
