Halloughton
Halloughton is a village in Nottinghamshire, England, 9 miles west of Newark-on-Trent. It lies in the civil parish of Southwell and the district of Newark and Sherwood. Most of the property there was owned by the Church Commissioners until 1952.
Historic buildings[]
The parish church of St James was rebuilt in 1879–1882. Halloughton Manor House is a 13th-century prebendal house of the college of Southwell. Its medieval tower house is now incorporated into a farmhouse built in the late 18th century.[1]
Most of the farms and properties in the parish were owned by the Church Commissioners until 1952, when they were put for sale to their sitting tenants.[2]
Governance[]
Halloughton, as a small village, holds an annual parish meeting, rather than running a parish council.[3] It lies in the district of Newark and Sherwood and the UK parliamentary constituency of Newark.
