Etymology


The first part of the name Catterton is the Brittonic cadeir, "chair, throne". This is suffixed with the Old English -tun, "a farm". Chadderton and Chatterton in Lancashire have the same origins.




History


Catterton is the location of one moated site which is a scheduled monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. Most such sites were built between 1250 and 1350, though construction continued throughout the medieval period.
In the 17th century, the inhabitants of Catterton came into conflict with people from the neighbouring village of Bilbrough over a tract of unenclosed moorland between the two settlements. A meeting between the two sides organised by the intervention of prominent Yorkshire figures including Robert Fairfax devolved into violence. In 1723, the two sides resolved their dispute by digging a ditch from Thwaites Lane to Escars to divide the land; the ditch still existed by 1900.
