Toponymy and History

The name of the community is derived from the Latin oratorio. Saint Évrost (or Evrou), abbot of Saint-Fuscien Abbey , is said to have founded the oratory here towards the end of the 6th century. The Chapter of Beauvais owned a farm in Boursines. A nunnery was founded in the place, which was moved to Beauvais in the wake of the Norman invasions, where the nuns later received the Saint-Paul monastery.
