History

Catfield's name is of both Anglo-Saxon and Viking origin, deriving from an amalgamation of the Old English and Old Norse for Kati's open land.[1]

In the Domesday Book, Catfield is described as a settlement of 31 households in the hundred of Happing. In 1086, the village was divided between the estates of Alan of Brittany and Roger Bigod.[2]

Catfield water tower was built in 1980 and was the first British water tower to be built from concrete.[3]

Geography

The A149, between King's Lynn and Great Yarmouth, runs through the parish.

All Saints' Church

Catfield's parish church is located at the junction of Church Road & School Road, dates from the Fourteenth Century and has been Grade I listed since 1955.[5]

All Saints' boasts an elaborately painted rood screen depicting various kings and saints as well as a set of royal arms which dates from the Georgian era but was painted over in the reign of Queen Victoria.[6]

Notable Residents
