The hamlet of Lower Catesby is a shrunken village.
The modern hamlet has only a handful of houses, all of which are 17th-century or later.
It is surrounded by numerous earthen features showing where cottages and the main village street had been.
Most of the fields around the former village still have clear ridge and furrow marks from the ploughing of the medieval arable farming with an open field system divided into narrow strips.

Just north of the church is a row of four early 17th-century cottages.
Pevsner and Cherry commented that the row "looks as if it were built as almshouses".

Stone House in Upper Catesby, about 275 yards (251 m) east of the ruins of Upper Catesby church, is early 18th-century.
 Its porch incorporates a 13th-century Early English Gothic arch said to be from the priory.
