In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Kingston like this:
KINGSTON-MARLWOOD, a hamlet in Stinsford parish, Dorset; 1½ mile ENE of Dorchester. Kingston House here was formerly the seat of W. M. Pitt, Esq., and is now the seat of J. Fellowes, Esq.
Kingston is now part of DORSET Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how DORSET has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Kingston itself, go to Statistics.
