Full Description
Site of Catton House, demolished 1959.
Built from 1730 onwards in Italianate style.
Home of the Harveys, Chamberlains and Mansels.
Information from (S1).
July 1998.
Report, during new building on west end of site (site of main part of house) previously built over to less density, of a 'well or icehouse' found in the earth bank to the road. This was described as a 'brick dome' with a shaft 'so deep that it took a minute for a stone to hit the water'. This sounds very like a capped well. Believed to have been destroyed - not reported until several days later.
Information from unknown local person via [1].
E. Rose (NLA), 17 July 1998.
