Blidworth is a village and civil parish approximately five miles east of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England.

The area around Main Street, west of Beck Lane and including the church, is the older portion of Blidworth, containing historic buildings.

[3] The first recorded reference of Blidworth was in the Domesday Book, a national survey which was executed for William I of England in 1086.

Other 20th century industries included factories for the manufacture of shoes, hosiery, textiles and metal products.

[6][failed verification] Much of these industrial areas have been redeveloped and new housing has been constructed around the periphery of the village, with new street names, such as Will Scarlet Close.

An unmarked grave stands near the iron gates of the churchyard, formed from the original apex of the church tower and other assorted stones, and is generally attributed to the outlaw.

Other local legends suggest that Blidworth was the birthplace of Maid Marian, although there is little or no evidence to support these claims.

The tower still stands to a height of 26 feet north of the older part of Blidworth (grid reference SK585557).

A post windmill in Mill Croft, behind the Wesleyan chapel, was worked by miller William Holloway in 1864.
