East Markham is a small village and civil parish in the district of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire, England, set in low-lying arable countryside a short distance from the market town of Retford. The settlement feels typically rural, with lanes, hedgerows and a scatter of stone and brick cottages framed by working farmland, and a modest conservation area that preserves its traditional character.
Locally the parish is anchored by its historic parish church and a handful of community amenities such as a village hall and pubs; agriculture remains important to the local economy while village life centres on seasonal events and volunteering. Visitors will notice a mix of historic buildings and later homes, a quiet social atmosphere and the kinds of local traditions and societies that sustain many small Mid‑Notts communities.
