The parish is mostly on boulder clay (fn. 12) and much of the ground lies at over 7 m. above sea level, rising to more than 23 m. at the north end of Roos township. The higher ground was occupied by the open fields and common pasture of Roos. Lower ground in the south and west is alluvial; part of it was used as common meadow but much was early inclosed. Commonable lands in Owstwick were inclosed in 1649 and those remaining at Roos in 1786.
In 1066 Murdoch had a manor of OWSTWICK, evidently comprising 2⅓ carucates, and Morkar had 3 carucates of soke there belonging to his manor of Kilnsea. Both estates had passed to Drew de Bevrère by 1086 (fn. 90) and later formed part of the Aumale fee.
It was similarly perhaps Murdoch's estate which was granted to a butler of the count of Aumale. Amand the butler (d. by 1218) gave land in Owstwick to Meaux abbey in the early 13th century, (fn. 94) and in 1240 his daughter Beatrice, widow of Geoffrey de Friboys, held 1 carucate and 1 bovate there of the count of Aumale. By 1252 the estate was evidently held jointly by Beatrice and John de Surdeval, presumably the heir to Beatrice's sister Hawise de Surdeval. (fn. 95) As at Hilston and Tansterne, in Aldbrough, the butler's fee at Owstwick evidently passed in turn to the Berchauds (fn. 96) and the Constables, whose tenants were the Rouths. Amand of Routh was one of the lords named in 1316. (fn. 97) The Rouths' successor Sir Richard Michelbourne sold the small estate to Nicholas Kitchen in the early 17th century. (fn. 98) It has not been traced further.
Another estate in Owstwick extended into Hilston and belonged to a cadet branch of the Ros family. Robert son of Robert de Ros of Helmsley (Yorks. N.R.) had a grant of free warren there in 1297 and, as Robert de Ros or Roos of Gedney (Lincs.), he held 1 carucate and 1 bovate at his death by 1311. (fn. 111) The estate descended to Robert's grandson Sir James Roos (fl. 1397) and then to Sir Robert Roos (d. 1441), who left daughters. (fn. 112) It was evidently the same which was held in turn by Sir John Paulet (d. 1525) and his son Sir William, who was created Baron St. John in 1539. (fn. 113) The Paulets had 1 carucate and 1½ bovates, a few acres, and several houses in Owstwick, held as appurtenances of Thorpe manor in Aldbrough. The estate passed by exchange in 1546 from Lord St. John to the Crown, which sold it to John Eldred and William Whitmore in 1611. (fn. 114) It has not been traced further.
Thornton abbey (Lincs.) had 2 bovates at Owstwick in 1288. (fn. 138) After the Dissolution its former estate descended with Garton and was sold in 1611; (fn. 139) no more is known of it.
By the 1780s there were 873 a. of old inclosures in Roos township, most of them lying near the southern boundary; one close there con tained 291 a. and another 78 a. The closes were often flooded, (fn. 153) and the Furze was also said to be mostly wet land or covered with whins. (fn. 154) The remaining commonable lands in Roos were inclosed by an award of 1786 under an Act of 1783. (fn. 155) There were 1594 a. to be dealt with. Allotments totalled 1,554 a. and 10 a. of old inclosures were involved in exchanges. East field contained more than 395 a., West field over 170 a., the Furze more than 153 a., Burnham carr 51 a., and Lengham carr 8 a. The rector was allotted 337 a. for tithes and glebe, Sir Christopher Sykes, Bt., lord of the manor, 201 a., Benjamin Ganton 173 a., and Edmund Bramston 166 a. There were also four allotments of 50–99 a., ten of 20–49 a., thirteen of 5–19 a., and thirteen of under 5 a. each. Apart from the manorial and rectorial allotments, only 66 a. were freehold.
There were usually a dozen farmers in Roos township and half a dozen in Owstwick in the 19th and earlier 20th century, (fn. 172) of whom in each township two in 1851 (fn. 173) and three or four in the 1920s and 1930s had 150 a. or more. In 1987 of 30 holdings returned at Roos, three were of over 200 ha. (494 a.), five of 100–199 ha. (247–492 a.), six of 50–99 ha. (124–245 a.), seven of 10–49 ha. (25–121 a.), and nine of under 10 ha. (fn. 174) A few men were employed at Roos as cowkeepers and market gardeners in the late 19th and early 20th century. Two or three cattle dealers and up to three horsebreakers were also recorded, and a horse show was held c. 1900. (fn. 175) There was an abbattoir in the north end of the village in 1990.
Trade And Industry. A brickworks at Roos existed by 1823 but was closed c. 1880, and gravel was extracted at Owstwick in or before the 1850s. (fn. 176) In the later 19th century James Blenkin, blacksmith, built up a business at Roos making and hiring agricultural machines, which employed up to 20 men, but it was in decline by 1913. (fn. 177) In the later 20th century premises at Owstwick were occupied in turn by an agricultural seed business and a farm machinery agency. (fn. 178) The numbers of craftsmen and tradesmen in Roos in the 19th and 20th centuries have reflected the large size of the village, (fn. 179) which still supported several shops in 1990.
Court rolls survive for nearly 20 years between 1298 and 1422 (fn. 188) and for 15 years in the 16th and early 17th century, (fn. 189) and the record is virtually complete from 1635 to 1935. (fn. 190) Other papers include copies of the roll from 1458. (fn. 191) The jurisdiction of the court included view of frankpledge and the assize of bread and of ale, and chevage was claimed from tenants in the 15th century. In the late 13th and the 14th century the court met about every three weeks but by the 15th century only two or three sessions a year were held. Meetings became more frequent in the 18th century, after the sale of the manor to a local family. Only one meeting a year was usual from the 1870s and the court last met in 1887. It was kept in a tenant's house in the 17th century. (fn. 192) Officers regularly appointed included 2 constables, 2 aletasters, 2 affeerors, and 4 bylawmen, and 2 mill-graves were recorded in the 15th and 16th centuries. A warrener answerable for strays and 2 pig-reeves were employed in 1416; in the 1630s there were 2 pinders, one for the sown field and one for the fallow, but later only one.
The church of ALL SAINTS, so called by 1347, (fn. 258) consists of chancel with two-storeyed north vestry and transeptal south organ chamber, aisled and clerestoried nave, and west tower, flanked by continuations of the aisles, with west porch. It is built mostly of boulders with ashlar dressings, except for the clerestory which is of brick and the chancel and porch which are of ashlar. The plan accords with an origin in or before the 11th century but the earliest features are the 13th-century nave arcades, of three bays. The tower arch also is 13thcentury. The vestry, of the 14th century, has a prominent round turret containing stairs to the upper room; it may have been intended for a chantry chapel and there was apparently a chaplain in the mid 15th century. (fn. 259) Remodelling of the chancel is shown by a north window of similar date to the vestry and by a 15th-century piscina. All the other windows, including those of the tall clerestory, are of the 15th or early 16th century and have been much restored. A bequest of £1 for the tower in 1442 was presumably for the reconstruction of the upper part.
Lucy Hotham had built a girls' school near the rectory house by 1840, (fn. 307) and about that date others for boys and infants were provided in buildings at the junction of Main Street and Pilmar Lane. (fn. 308) The schools were supported by Mrs. Hotham and her husband Charles, rector, by school pence, and by 1848 by an annual government grant. Average attendance was then 55 boys and 52 girls. (fn. 309) The schools were soon afterwards united with the National Society. (fn. 310) In 1866 they were reorganized as one school at Pilmar Lane, where existing buildings were remodelled and a new main room built in 1872. (fn. 311) The former girls' school was later demolished.
