Upper Catesby - building in the trees The building originally housed a generator for Catesby House (perhaps feeding other properties too?). Around 1953/54 the Parish Meeting proposed to purchase the "Power House" for £100 and convert it to a Village Hall. It has since fallen into disuse and is in need of repairs. Village meetings are now often held in the church of St. Mary & St. Edmund Church, Lower Catesby.
