Catsfield is a village and civil parish in the Rother District of East Sussex, England. It is located 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Bexhill. The village once consisted of two manors: Catsfield and Catsfield Levett. The manor of Catsfield Levett remained in the Levett family for centuries. In the seventeenth century a Levett heiress carried it into the Eversfield family. (Richard Lyvet of Firle was lord of the manor of Catsfield in 1431.) With a fortune built on ancestral landholdings and later on iron making, the Levetts held land across Sussex.
The parish church is dedicated to St Laurence[2]
