Osberton is a small village located in the county of Nottinghamshire, England. Situated approximately 9 miles northeast of Worksop, it falls within the local government district of Bassetlaw. With a population of around 200 people, Osberton is known for its peaceful and rural atmosphere.

The village is surrounded by picturesque countryside, with rolling hills and lush green fields stretching as far as the eye can see. It is a popular destination for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The nearby Sherwood Forest, famous for its association with the legendary outlaw Robin Hood, offers visitors the chance to explore ancient woodlands and discover historic landmarks.

One of the notable features of Osberton is the grand Osberton House, a Grade II listed country house that dates back to the 18th century. The house is set within extensive grounds and is known for its beautiful architecture and elegant gardens. Currently, Osberton House is privately owned and not open to the public.

The village itself has a small community feel, with a handful of residential properties and a local pub, providing a social hub for residents and visitors alike. While Osberton may be small in size, its charm and natural beauty make it an appealing destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of Nottinghamshire.

Mystery building in Scofton With barred windows on the ground floor, louvred shutters on the upper floor and a security camera that monitored our movements as we walked along the path to the church I wonder what's inside?

The west door of St John's Church. Look carefully and you will see carvings of an owl and a cat at the feet of the arch - these are said to be the inspiration for Edward Lear's nonsense poem 'The Owl and the Pussycat'.

The church of St John A grade II listed parish church built in 1833 as a private chapel to Osberton Hall. My fellow geographer is apparently saying his prayers at the west door.

Foljambe family graves The Foljambes, owners of the Osberton Hall estate, are buried by the east end of the church. Most of these graves are aligned east-west but two are aligned north-south. I wonder why?
