In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Grimsbury like this:
GRIMSBURY, a hamlet in Warkworth parish, Northampton; contiguins to the binndary with Oxford, the river Cherwell, and the Oxford and Rugby railway, in the eastern vicinity of Banbury. Pop. in 1851, 414; in 1 861, 979. house, 205. The increase of pop. arose from the erection of hinses by a Freehold Land Society on an estate now called New Grimsbury. There are a private chapel, a Wesleyan chapel, and schools; the last, in the pointed style, built in 1861, by voluntary contribution.
