Owthorpe is an English hamlet and civil parish in the Wolds of the East Midlands county of Nottinghamshire.
There are low-frequency weekday bus services to Cotgrave and Keyworth and term-time school buses to Bingham.
A large manor house, Owthorpe Hall, was located here until it burned to the ground in a fire in the late 1820s.
[8] The family vault under the nave of the church is now sealed off, but when the floor gave way in 1859 it was found to contain 17 coffins.
[12] The lordship, then consisting of 1300 acres (526 ha) of enclosed land, was sold in 1773 to Sir George Bromley, Bt.
Owthorpe has an unusual Grade I listed Anglican church, dedicated to St Margaret of Antioch, once considered a patron saint of pregnancy.
Access is only along a public footpath – a narrow grass track, often muddy in the winter months – and through a timber gate.
[23] The children's historical novel Uncivil War: Twin Tales of Nottinghamshire by Noel Harrower features Owthorpe and the Hutchinsons.
