In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Keyston like this:
KEYSTON, a parish, with a village, in the district of Thrapston and county of Huntingdon; adjacent to Northamptonshire, 4 miles ESE of Thrapston r. station. Posttown, Thrapston. Acres, 2, 535. Real property, £2, 826. Pop., 223. Houses, 50. The property is divided chiefly among five. The manor belongs to John Pashler, Esq. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Ely. Value, £385.* Patron, the Hon. G. W. Fitzwilliam. The church is a fine cruciform structure of the 14th century; has a W tower, with lofty spire; and contains some monumental slabs. The N transept was once a private chapel, and perhaps the burial-place of Lord Ferrers, who was interred in the church.
