Nottingham is a town in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, United States.
The earl was a close friend of Samuel Shute and Joseph Dudley, previous colonial governors of New Hampshire.
The town was site of a massacre in September 1747, when Elizabeth Simpson, Robert Beard and Nathaniel Folsom were slain by Indians of the Winnipesaukee tribe.
[1] Containing 14 lakes and ponds, Nottingham is drained by the Pawtuckaway, North, and Little rivers, all tributaries of the Lamprey River, which passes south and east of the town and flows into Great Bay at Newmarket.
The town's highest point is the North Peak of Mount Pawtuckaway, at 995 feet (303 m) above sea level.
The circular-shaped Pawtuckaway Mountains are a prime example of what geologists term a ring dike complex.
