Scrooby in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, England is a small, rural village set among open farmland close to the River Ryton and just off the A1, making it within easy commuting distance of Retford, Worksop and Doncaster. The settlement keeps a compact village feel with traditional cottages, the parish church of St Wilfrid's Church and scattered farmsteads, reflecting its agricultural surroundings.
Scrooby’s chief claim to fame is its historical link with Scrooby Manor and William Brewster, leader of a group of early 17th‑century Separatists who later formed part of the Pilgrim Fathers that sailed for New England; that legacy attracts local interest and forms part of the village identity. Today the local economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns, and the community places value on preserving its historic character and quiet country lifestyle.
