Osberton / Ormestune / Osbernestune

There is an entry for Osberton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK6279/osberton/] [accessed 29 November 2018]; it reports a church in it. John Holland's The History, Antiquities, and Description of the Town and Parish of Worksop, in the County of Nottingham (Sheffield: J. Blackwell, 1826): 184, notes: "The church noticed as existing at the time of the conquest, has long been down. [...] There is at present in the farm yard of Mr. Rodgers, at Osberton, a square excavated stone, used us a pump trough, which is said to have been the ancient christening font". Lewis' Dictionary (1848) entry for Worksop reports "an antique font" at Osberton, among "the supposed remains of a church". The entry for Osbertton Old Church in the Southwell & Nottingham Church History Project [http://southwellchurches.nottingham.ac.uk/osberton/hintro.php] [accessed 29 November 2018] notes: "Domesday Book records a church at Osberton, but not at Scofton where the church now lies. It is not known where the medieval church lay, whether it was under the site of the present, 19th century, building at Scofton or elsewhere in Osberton parish. It is possible that there might have been churches in both settlements, but Scofton was evidently a very minor place in 1086. Osberton is therefore categorised as a ‘lost Domesday’ church." The present church at Scofton-with-Osberton, dedicated to St John the Evangelist, is a small building in neo-Nornam style of 1832.
