About Owthorpe
Owthorpe is a village and civil parish in the English county of Nottinghamshire.
Owthorpe is located south east of Nottingham and forms part of the borough of Rushcliffe. The Grantham Canal is to its east. As of 2006 the borough council records a population of 90 so the parish is too small to have a parish council and has a parish meeting instead. It was at one time the seat of the powerful, Hutchinson family. A large manor house was located there until it burned to the ground in a fire. Owthorpe Hall was the manor house of the Hutchinsons.
Owthorpe is a pleasant village with a very unusual church. It sits away from the village surrounded by a low wall in farmland. Access is only along a narrow grass track, muddy in winter months, and through a timber gate. The track and the graveyard are a public footpath. Parts of St Margaret's date from the 12th century. The structure has undergone many changes over the centuries and is now in a state of disrepair. The north wall has survived as part of the original, larger church.
