Owstwick history

Owstwick was a small settlement of about 5 households, with 45 villagers, 6 freemen, one priest and a church. The Domesday Book lists the settlement name as “Hostewic” and “Ostewic”, under the manors and lords of Kilnsea and Hilston, and in the Hundred of Holderness. In 1086 lordship was transferred to Drogo of la BeuvriËre, who also became Tenant-in-chief to King William I.

Quakers

Owstwick was a centre for Quaker faith in the 17th and 18th centuries. George Fox was released from Scarborough Castle in 1666 and found the Quaker movement languishing. The oldest record of Quaker activity is in 1654. A 1671 will by a Robert Raven stipulated a wish to be buried in the burial ground.

Owst

The Owst family name leads directly to the original Saxon thanes who gave their name to the village. The name reappears in records in 1349, during the reign of Edward III, with a Robert Owst who had possessions in Hedon. An Owst (died 1489), was Prior of Nunkeeling Priory. A Thomas Owst lived at Halsham in 1575, his descendants surviving there until 1836.
