In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described St Catherine like this:
CATHERINE (St.), a parish in Bath district, Somerset; on the verge of the county, 3½ miles WNW of Box r. station, and 3¾ NE by N of Bath. Post Town, Batheaston, under Bath. Acres, 1,040. Real property, with Easten-Amoril, £11,106. Pop., 84. Houses, 23. The manor belonged to the abbots of St. ...
Peters, Bath; and their residence, an edifice of 1499, with a porch added in the time of Charles I., is still standing. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Batheaston, in the diocese of Bath and Wells. The church was built about the same time as the abbots' residence; and contains a carved pulpit, a Norman font, and an altar-tomb of 1631.
