History | At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, Catton belonged to Henry de Ferrers. The lordship passed with the marriage of Henry’s daughter, Amicia, to Nigel de Albini and continued with the Albinis into the reign of King Henry III. Aylmer, Baron St Amand, died seised of the manor in 1403. His widow, Alianora, granted the manor in 1405 to Roger Horton, who died seised of the manor in 1423. It remained with the Horton family for the next 400 years, with Eusebius Horton the last of the male line, dying in 1823. He was succeeded by his eldest daughter, Anne Beatrix, wife of Sir Robert John Wilmot, who took on the additional name of Horton. |
