Catterick in York County England History and GeographyCATTERICK, a parish comprising the townships of Ellerton upon Swale, Kiplin, Scorton, Uckerby, and Whitwell, in the eastern division of the wapentake of GILLING; the chapelry of Hudswell, in the western division of the wapentake of HANG; and the townships of Appleton, Brough, Catterick, Colbourne, Hipswell with St. Martin's, Killerby, Scotton, and Tunstall, in the eastern division of the wapentake of HANG, North riding of the county of YORK, and containing 2788 inhabitants, of which number, 561 are in the township of Catterick, 5 miles (S.E.) from Richmond. The living is a vicarage, in the archdeaconry of Richmond, and diocese of Chester, rated in the king's books at £25. 2. 1., and in the gift of the Crown. The church is dedicated to St. Anne. This is a place of great antiquity, having been the site of a Roman station of some note, called Cataractonium, where the Ermin-street branches off in two directions; numerous Roman relics have been discovered at different periods. It also flourished during the Saxon times, but in the devastations of the Danes it was utterly destroyed, and is at present of little importance. A school in which twelve children are instructed, and an hospital for six poor widows, were founded in 1658, by the Rev. Michael Syddall, formerly vicar of the parish, and endowed with £45 per annum, of which the schoolmaster receives £20, with a house to reside in. A mile north is Catterick bridge, over the river Swale, on which was formerly a chapel; and opposite is a race-course.
