page 305 Caton of Binbrook LINEAGE The family of De Catton or Caton,was originally seated in the county of Norfolk, where the name appears to be of great antiquity, and is presumed to have been derived from the village of Catton; near Norwich. At the time of the survey there were two villages so designated in the county, the one situated in the hundred of Blofeld, the other in in the hunred of Taverham , and in the doomsday book spelt Catun and Catuna. The first was granted to Eudo, Sewer or Steward of the Conqueror's household, as part of his fees. William The Conqueror had the capital manor of the second village, and William de Noyers was his steward. The Church is dedicated to St Margaret, and here stood the effigies of Peter robert de Caton, prior of Norwich in 1526. {Venerablis ac relegious in Christo Pater, Robertus de Catton, prior Norwic' instit. Ad Ecclesiam Saae. Marie in Marisco per Mort. Robt. Jackson Aug 18 1526.} page 306 Walter De Catton, born at Catton, by Norwich, in 1304, was Prior to the convent of Gey Friers, and became a man of great fame for his manifold learning and exemplary virtues; he was an excellent philosopher and devine, a great mathematician, commended Judiciary astrologer. In process of time his reputation spread so far that he was called to the Papal court at Aviguon, where the pope made him his penitentiary, and took him for his confessor. |
