Sturton le Steeple is a small village and civil parish in the district of Bassetlaw, in north Nottinghamshire, England, set in a predominately rural landscape close to the county border with Lincolnshire. It lies within easy reach of the market towns of Retford and Gainsborough, which makes it popular with commuters while retaining a quiet village character.
The village’s name recalls the prominent church steeple and the settlement has medieval roots, visible in a compact core of traditional stone and brick buildings and surrounding farmsteads.
