Notes about this historic site
1 Ousthirne, ‘sometimes a Grange’, ‘belonging to Merevale Abby’ and ‘still reputed a member thereof’. Probably given to Merevale by Walter de Camvile between 1154 and 1159.
2 Ouston has long been absorbed in Lea Marston, but the date of transference is not known.
3 An archaeological evaluation carried out during 1995 by Warwickshire Museum did not identify any archaeological remains. It is likely that all archaeological remains were removed in the late 1950s during the construction of Hams Hall C power station and its associated railway sidings.
