OUSDEN in 1844, is a scattered village, 7 miles S.E. by E. of Newmarket, and
10 miles W.S.W. of Bury, has in its parish 340 souls, and 1490 acres of land,
having a fertile mixed soil. Ousden Hall, a handsome mansion, with pleasant
grounds, is the seat of T. J. Ireland, Esq., the lord of the manor, and owner of
nearly all the soil. The Church (St. Peter) is a small structure, with a tower
and five bells ; and the living is a rectory, valued in K.B. at £10. 3s. 9d.,
and in 1835 at £285. T. J. Ireland, Esq., is patron, and the Rev. C. H. Bennet
incumbent. The tithes were commuted at the enclosure, about 25 years ago, for an
allotment of 350 acres. The Moseleys were formerly seated here, and were lords
of the manor, which was held by the late Rev. J. T. Hand. The Town Estate
consists of a cottage, called the Town House, occupied rentfree by poor persons;
and about 3a. of land, let for £4. 10s. a year, which is applied in the service
of the church. In 1593, (William. Deynes left a yearly rent-charge of 13s. 4d.
out of land at Barrow, for the poor of Ousden. In 1743, Richard Moseley charged
a farm here with the yearly payment of £10, for schooling 20 poor children of
this parish.
