OLD CATTON A charming village located on the outskirts of Norwich city centre, the village of Old Catton has a long history, dating back to at least the Saxon period. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, which recorded it as "Cattuna." Over the centuries, the village evolved and grew, and its name eventually changed to "Old Catton."

One of the most prominent landmarks within the village is St. Margaret's Church, a beautiful medieval parish church which dates back to the 14th century.

Old Catton maintains a strong sense of community, making it a wonderful place to live or visit. The village has a close-knit feel, with friendly locals and a welcoming atmosphere.

The village's picturesque setting adds to its appeal. Surrounded by the lush Norfolk countryside, offering peaceful walks, scenic views, and opportunities to connect with nature. The River Wensum runs nearby, further enhancing the area's natural beauty.

Despite its historical roots, Old Catton is well-equipped with modern amenities to cater to the needs of its residents. Local shops, pubs, and restaurants provide convenience and options for those who call the village home.

Additionally, the proximity to Norwich ensures that all major services and facilities are within easy reach. This ancient city has been home to writers, radicals and fiercely independent spirits for over a thousand years, and today continues in its legacy as an enclave of culture and creativity. Its perfectly preserved medieval streets are home to a thriving community of small businesses, a vibrant food scene and an established arts culture. It is also a gateway to a county that continues to inspire people with its unspoilt landscapes, open spaces and big skies.

When the bright lights call, trains from Norwich to Liverpool Street take just 90 minutes, and the city's airport flies to a number of UK destinations, as well as direct to Amsterdam.
