Sturton le Steeple is a village located 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Retford, Nottinghamshire, England.

This is thought to refer to the Roman road, Ermine Street, which ran from Lincoln to York and which crossed the River Trent 2 miles southeast of the village.

[7] Arthur Mee, writing in 1938, notes that the lower half of the tower was 600 years old and the upper storeys 15th century.

The north and south doorways are Norman, and so is the bowl of the font, which came from the vanished church of West Burton; it is charmingly set on a flight of steps in the tower.

"[8][9] The church contains a marble slab marking the final resting place of the Parliamentarian colonel Francis Thornhagh.

These are largely 17th to 19th century domestic and agricultural buildings, but also of note is the medieval settlement and open field system immediately southeast of Low Farm.
