St Catherine's Church is an Anglican Church and the parish church of Draughton in Northamptonshire. It is a Grade II* listed building and stands in the village of Draughton.

There is no reference to a church or priest in the entry for the parish in the Domesday Book, which was compiled in 1086. [1] This may indicate the absence of a church building at that stage or, alternatively, only the absence of a resident priest.

The main structure of the present building was erected in the 12th and 13th centuries. The chancel was remodelled in about 1885. The church consists of a nave, north and south aisles, chancel and west tower. A detailed description appears on the Historic England website [2]

The parish registers survive from 1559 and, apart from those currently in use, are kept at Northamptonshire Record Office in Wootton, Northamptonshire. [3] Details of its location and opening times can be found on the Record Office website. [4]

Draughton is part of a united Benefice along with Faxton, Lamport, and Maidwell. Except for Faxton, each parish retains its own church building. [5]
