Ossulston hundred included areas around Kensington, Holborn, Finsbury, Tower Hamlets and Westminster. It is remembered partly because it gave its name to the barony of Ossulston conferred upon John Bennet in 1682. John was the brother of Henry Bennet, earl of Arlington (d. 1686), a close advisor to the monarchy, who built Ossulston House, formerly nos. 1 and 2 St. James's Square and afterwards demolished. The barony was absorbed into the earldom of Tankerville in 1714.

The manor of Ealing or Ealingbury was presumably the 10 hides at Ealing granted in 693 by Ethelred, king of Mercia, to the bishop of London for the augmentation of monastic life in London. The manor passed through various owners until 1906 when most or all of the land was sold to the Prudential Assurance Company.

The manor of Durants (or Durance) and the manor of Garton were originally separate holdings which were joined together. They belonged to the Wroth family and their decendants, and included twenty houses, twenty tofts, two mills, ten gardens, three hundred acres of arable, two hundred acres of meadow, forty acres of pasture, and ten acres of wood.
