Catesby Priory was a community of Cistercian nuns in Lower Catesby, founded in about 1175 and suppressed in 1536. The Priory then became a private residence, Catesby House. There was no separate church for the village: the graveyard and chapel of Catesby House served the community.[2]
The lexicographer, Rev.John Parkhurst was born at Lower Catesby.[2]
In the eastern part of the parish is Catesby Tunnel, a tunnel on the former Great Central Line that was completed in 1897 and has been disused since 1966.
