Located two and a half miles south of Ashbourne, Osmaston is an archetypal English village with thatched cottages and a village pond.

History

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book under the name Osmundestone; the parish was originally named Whitestone.

The village church—St. Martin's—dates from 1606, although the present building was constructed in 1843. The building was previously a wickerwork construction.

Points of interest

The war memorial situated at the side of the road, near the church, commemorates those lost in the First World War.[2]

The only pub in the village is the Shoulder of Mutton. There is also a village hall and a primary school.

Osmaston Manor was designed by Henry Isaac Stevens for Francis Wright of the Butterley Iron Company and completed in 1849. The house was demolished in 1964.[3] The estate was sold in 1888 to Sir Ian Walker's family, who had the house demolished when they moved to Okeover and adopted the Okeover name. The Walker-Okeovers still own the land; the estate hosts popular horse trials and the Ashbourne Shire Horse Show.[3] The terraces of the house's gardens are still apparent today.

Osmaston Manor was used as a Red Cross hospital during World War II.[4]
