Stokeham is a very small, rural civil parish in the district of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire, England. It consists largely of farmland, scattered farmsteads and a handful of dwellings rather than a nucleated village, so its character is quiet and agricultural rather than urbanised.
The area has a long rural history reflected in hedged fields, lanes and occasional historic farmhouses, and many residents look to nearby market towns such as Worksop and Retford for shops, schools and community amenities; farming and commuting remain the main economic activities. Its tranquil lanes and countryside make it appealing for local walkers and anyone interested in quiet Nottinghamshire landscapes and rural heritage.
