Babworth is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, England, set a few miles south of Retford. The settlement sits amid arable countryside and parkland and is notable for its historic parish church, St Mary the Virgin, and the nearby country house Babworth Hall, which together give the village a distinctly historic, estate-influenced character.
The village has long associations with the early 17th-century Separatists often called the Pilgrim Fathers, with local clergy and families connected to meetings in neighbouring Scrooby. Today Babworth remains a small, close-knit community where agriculture and estate management are still visible, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work and services.
