Who was John Catesby?
John Catesby KS was a British judge. He was the uncle of William Catesby, another noted lawyer, and a member of the Inner Temple. He became a Serjeant-at-Law in 1463, allowing him to practice in the Court of Common Pleas and a King's Serjeant on 18 April 1469. On 20 November 1481 he was made Third Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. He served continuously from the reign of Edward IV to that of Henry VII, although the latter delayed his appointment for a month due to his relation to William Catesby, who had been a close ally of the previous king. On the death of Richard Neele in 1486 he became Second Justice of the Common Pleas but died later that year.
