In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Austerfield like this:
AUSTERFIELD, a township-chapelry in Blyth parish, W. R. Yorkshire; adjacent to Notts, and to the Retford and Doncaster railway, 1½ mile NNE of Bawtry. Post Town, Bawtry. Acres, 2,776. Real property, £3,477. Pop., 389. Houses, 89. A Roman camp occurs here on the line of North Watling-street; and a great battle is supposed to have been fought adjacent between the Britons and the Romans under Ostorins. The living is a curacy, joined with Bawtry, in the diocese of Lincoln. The church is Norman.
