Archaeology
In 1895 during the sinking of a shaft for Catesby Tunnel a Roman cinerary urn was found about south of Upper Catesby.
In 1389 Upper Catesby was recorded as Overcatsby. It includes 16th-century linenfold panelling said to come from Catesby Priory, and 17th-century panelling, doorcases and a stair with barley-sugar balusters, all from the previous 17th-century Catesby House
