The village and civil parish of Scrooby sits in the district of Bassetlaw in north Nottinghamshire, England. It occupies a quiet, rural spot close to the county border with South Yorkshire and is within easy reach of the A1, with larger centres such as Doncaster and Worksop a short drive away; the surrounding landscape is largely agricultural with small woods and public footpaths.
Scrooby is best known for its early 17th-century connection to the Separatist congregation centred on the manor and parish church, a story that links the village to the Pilgrim Fathers and the later voyage of some members on the Mayflower. Historic features - including the site of Scrooby Manor and the old church - give the place a strong heritage identity, while today it remains a small, close-knit community where farming, heritage tourism and commuter life all play a part in local life.
