Burston is a smallhamlet nearRowsham inBuckinghamshire about three miles (4.8 km) north ofAylesbury. It is in thecivil parish ofAston Abbotts.[1] Its name derives from the Old English personal nameBriddel +þorn (“thornbush”).[2]

There used to be a village of Burston, which was recorded separately to Aston Abbots in theDomesday Book of 1086. The village was deserted after its residents were evicted in 1488, to clear arable farmland for sheep grazing.[3] The desertion was later investigated byThomas Wolsey, who found that after evicting at least 60 people, the landlord raised rents from£13 1s 8d a year to £40.[4]

Modern Burston consists of a few farms, including Burston Hill Farm, Lower Burston, and Burston Ridge Farm, but in the valley belowearthworks of the old settlement remain and are ascheduled monument.[5]
