Welcome to Thoroton

Thoroton is a small village located in the Rushcliffe district of Nottinghamshire, England. The village is situated approximately 10 miles east of Nottingham city centre and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Thoroton is a peaceful and quiet village, with a population of around 200 people. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the Grade II listed St Helena's Church, which dates back to the 12th century.

The village of Thoroton has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as "Torretune". In the Middle Ages, Thoroton was a thriving agricultural community, with many farms and smallholdings in the area. Today, the village is still predominantly rural, with many of the buildings and houses dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries.

Despite its small size, Thoroton has a strong sense of community, with many local events and activities taking place throughout the year. The village has a small primary school, a village hall, and a pub, The Plough Inn, which serves traditional pub food and real ale. Thoroton is also home to a number of small businesses, including a farm shop and a garden centre. The village is well-connected to the surrounding area, with good transport links to Nottingham and other nearby towns and cities.
