Scarrington is an English civil parish and small village in the Rushcliffe borough of Nottinghamshire, adjacent to Bingham, Car Colston, Hawksworth, Orston and Aslockton.

[2] It lies at Ordnance Survey grid reference SK7341 in the undulating farmland of the Vale of Belvoir, some 2 miles (3.2 km) from the town of Bingham and from a stretch of the Roman Fosse Way (A46) between Newark and Leicester.

[4] The member of Parliament (MP) for Newark, the constituency in which Scarrington is located in, is the Conservative Robert Jenrick.

[6] There is also evidence that Scarrington was inhabited in Roman times (2nd–3rd century AD), in the shape of tools and remains of a villa.

[10] The size of the village changed little from the time of enclosure up to the 20th century, when some building took place northward along Hawksworth Road.

The village lies mainly within a conservation area, established in 1990 and extended in October 2010, which includes four listed buildings, mature trees and wide grass verges.

[12] The medieval Anglican parish Church of St John of Beverley, Scarrington, a 13th-century building restored by J. H. Hakewill in 1867–1869, is Grade I listed.

[19] Many houses for the poor in earlier centuries were built on waste land, which may explain why the hamlet stood apart from the village.

"[22] The parish link with Orston lasted until February 1867, when the chapelry of Scarrington was combined with that of Aslockton (hitherto under Whatton) to make a new vicarage: Scarrington-with-Aslockton.

[33] Scarrington Methodist Church in Main Street has a 6 pm service on alternate Sundays and a monthly Bible study session.

[35] Scarrington has a used-car dealer in Main Street,[36] a commercial and domestic laundry,[37] and a barbers' at Manor Farm.

The Cranmer Arms in Aslockton and the Royal Oak in Car Colston (2 miles/3.2 km) are the nearest pubs.
