Officially judging by the old boundries of the former township of Austhorpe, Austhorpe also includes the areas of Crossgates, Colton Common and Barrowby. Colton Common became officially part of Colton when the Ingram family who resided in Temple Newsam, bought the whole Austhorpe Lodge estate, selling it off and keeping Colton Common as their own.

After the Township dissolved, Austhorpe stopped developing as quickly as it did, whereas Crossgates quickly developed and Barrowby, if anything, un-developed.
