Talk:Aust

message: Currently the article reads:
The name of Aust is one of the very few English place-names to be derived from Latin.
Um, aren't there several hundred English place-names derived from Latin?

replies: text: Well, I'm certainly less of an expert than she was, but I'm surprised and would be interested to see what she included in her list.  There may be a definition issue here - does she mean the whole name, as against those part-derived from Latin? As well as all the placenames with "-chester" or "caer-" (derived from castra), and the various places "Stratton" which derive from strata, to give just two examples, I can think of several local to myself in a relatively non-Romanised area (SE Wales and adjoining), such as Stroat (Glos. - from strata), Bassaleg (from basilica), Magor (from maceria).  It's also still debated whether the name Aust derives from Augusta - but I don't deny she's a "reliable source".  Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:40, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Putting info either uncited or not covered by the cited source for tracking purposes, to see if I can find it later:
* Aust was one of only 5 or so of Turstin's holdings in excess of 30 manors which was not held in chief, that is to say directly from the crown.
* Between 1088 and 1092 Turstin appears to have been banished from England, possibly due to support given by him to the claim of Robert Curthose, the eldest son of William I, to the crown over William Rufus. 
Any knowledge of sources in the meantime, is much appreciated!--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:57, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Uncited info 

message: Not only do the early forms of Aust have little to do with 'Augusta' (whatever the hell it is meant to be?) there happens to be a nearby hamlet called Ingst bearing the same -st endfast. There is even an 'Ingst road' in Aust.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.243.96 (talk) 05:09, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
