the_title is not setting page title

I have setup my home.php and my categories.php page title to

<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

but unfortunately it does not display the page it's on, it displays the first post list. Is there something I have missed or can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

<div id="content" class="clearfix">
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>


                            <section class="post-content clearfix">
                                    <h4><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
                            </section> <!-- end article section -->

                        <?php endwhile; ?>
