Welcome to the Nottinghamshire History website

"An exceeding pleasant shire" - John Evelyn portraitNottinghamshire is an often overlooked English county, most memorably dismissed by that renowned scholar, Jeremy Clarkson, as "a non-place, like Staffordshire." The Nottinghamshire History website attempts to counter ignorance like this by making accessible a wide range of books and articles reflecting the rich and fascinating history of this part of the midlands.

The website also provides local historians and genealogists with a wealth of material on all aspects of the county's history and also acts as a gateway to other useful resources.
