The Old
Catton Society was founded in 1984 following
the designation of a Conservation Area for
the village centre.
The aim of
the Old Catton Society is to secure the
preservation and protection of the village
environment, especially through the
monitoring of development proposals.
Today, the
Society holds an extensive archive of
material relating to Old Catton. This
archive includes:
|
► |
Over 600 catalogued photographs
of village scenes and life - old
and new. |
|
► |
A "doomsday" photographic record
of the entire village in 2000. |

Miscellaneous press cuttings. |

Dr Goulty's transcription of the
Parish Registers 1688 to 1841. |

Transcriptions of the 1841, 1851
and 1861 censuses. |
