The manor of St Catherine belonged to Prior Cantlow of Bath Abbey in medieval times.[2] The church was remodelled by him around 1490, with the tower being added in 1503,[3] and underwent further changes in 1704, 1846 and 1880. The interior includes a 12th-century font and a 15th-century pulpit.[1]

The church stands within the grounds of the 16th century St Catherine's Court, which is Grade I listed.[4]

The parish is part of the benefice of Batheaston with St Catherine within the archdeaconry of Bath.[5] St Catherine's has been part of the parish since it was annexed in 1258.[6]
