Full Description

The Med village of Nettleworth-in-Warsop listed under "villages now lost, but linked with another village in 1334 tax list". (1)

'Nettleton' listed? (2)

No earthworks or soilmarks indicative of desertion seen in the vicinity of the present community of Nettleworth which comprises some 4 or 5 houses, a farm and the remains of a partly demolished hall. (3)

The hall was built in 1785 and the surviving parts are the square block which stood at the rea and a N wing that was probably servants quarters and offices. Sandwiched between this and its S end is a fragment no more than two metres wide, probably of a former hall. (4)
