Carlton in Lindrick is a village and civil parish about 3 miles (5 km) north of Worksop in Nottinghamshire, England.

The parish is roughly bounded by land features such as Langold Lake to the north, Wallingwells Hall to the west, Hodsock Priory to the east, and Gateford Hill to the south.

Central and to the south is a combination of the Chester Formation sandstones, made up of pebbly sedimentary bedrock from 250 - 247.1 million years ago during the Triassic period and Lenton Sandstone Formation bedrock created between 272.3 and 247.1 million years ago within the Permian and Triassic periods.

The highest natural point is a section by the southern boundary by Peak and Gateford hills, at 70–72 metres (230–236 ft).

"Lindrick", denoting the land of the linden or lime tree is the name of the ancient district, most of which is now in South Yorkshire.

In the reign of King Stephen (1135–41) a Norman landholder, Ralph de Chevrolcourt (or Caprecuria) founded and endowed a Benedictine priory of nuns in Carlton Park.

[12] The priory was next to a spring ("juxta fontes et rivum fontium") called Wallingwells and dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.

[11] In 1536 the King's agents, Thomas Legh and Richard Layton, visited the priory and found no slander or scandal to report against it.

However, the prioress, Margaret Goldsmith, bought off the Crown officials with a payment equal to the priory's income for more than a year.

[13] The Carlton-in-Lindrick knight is a 12th-century, mounted bronze figurine 6 cm high discovered in 2004 and now displayed in the Bassetlaw Museum, Retford.

[16] The village had four pubs: the Blue Bell,[17] The Grey Horses Inn, the Sherwood Ranger and the Riddle Arms.
