[4] Numerous examples of Roman tile fragments have been found on several occasions in the field to the south of the pond known locally as the Sookholme Bath.

The archives of Major Hayman Rooke contains sketches which displays Roman baths observed beneath the existing pond which possibly is what the tiles were used to create, and take advantage of the reputed healing waters of the nearby spring.

[6] In the reign of Edward III during the 14th century, the prior of St. Oswald claimed all sorts of privileges in the manor of Sookholme, but it could not be proven that he or his predecessors ever had those specific rights.

[8] Located to the south of Sookholme, Nettleworth Hall was the centrepiece of the manor and was built in 1566 by William Wylde.

Richard Fitzherbert inherited the baroncy in 1896 he resigned as rector of Warsop and moved from the rectory to Nettleworth Manor.

The hall by 1939-40 was in the ownership of the Neville family, who then dismantled it to prevent the military taking possession of it for war purposes.

[11] After the English Reformation, Sookholme was granted to the Leek family, and from them it descended to the Cavendishes, one of whom was the Duke of Newcastle.

The manor later passed to the Dukes of Portland, and, through them, by an exchange of land, to Henry Gally Knight, and on to the FitzHerbert family as part of their wider Warsop holdings.

Despite the name, the wood has a sizable portion within Nottinghamshire, adjacent to Sookholme and visitors access is primarily by means of Longster Lane.

The woods contain a mixture of mature broadleaf woodland, newly planted trees, large open meadows and a scenic wetland valley.

Five buildings of local architectural interest are registered as listed, mainly aligned along the historic portion of the village by Sookholme Lane.

If this third had remained, Sookholme would be one of those small chapels with square-ended sanctuaries, commonly built in Saxon and Norman times.

The High Marnham test track run by Network Rail passes to the north of the village.
