Tollerton is an English village and civil parish in the Rushcliffe district of Nottinghamshire, just south-east of Nottingham.
St Hugh's College was founded in 1948 at Tollerton Hall by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nottingham as its junior seminary, accepting boys from aged 11 upwards, but by 1969 it had opened its doors to secular students.
It closed in 1986, leaving the hall as a corporate HQ until June 2017, when it was bought by a businessman, Ian Kershaw, for use as a private home again.
[3] This led to the establishment of a community trust, in which shares were issued, and the pub freehold was purchased.
The Parish Rooms at the end of the parade of shops in Burnside Grove serve as a centre for local community activities and meetings.
The park was refurbished with new children's play equipment in April 2008 and again more recently through the active Tollerton project.
Just outside the village is Nottingham Airport where prospective pilots can receive training in either fixed-wing light aircraft or various rotary helicopters.
[6] The southern edge of the village lies on Melton Road (A606), adjacent to Wheatcroft Roundabout, where the A52 and the A606 meet.
This provides good links from the village to Nottingham, the M1 motorway, and surrounding places such as Melton Mowbray and Leicester.
