Low Catton is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 7 miles (11 km) north-west of the market town of Pocklington and about 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the village of Stamford Bridge.
Low Catton lies on the east bank of the River Derwent. Together with High Catton, 1 mile to the east, it forms the civil parish of Catton.
The church, dedicated to All Saints, was designated a Grade I listed building in 1967 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[1]
In 1823 Low Catton church was under the patronage of the Earl of Egremont. In the village existed a grammar school with schoolmaster. 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.[2]
