Girton is a small, mainly rural civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, in Nottinghamshire. It sits amid farmland and hedged fields, with a handful of cottages and farmhouses rather than a dense urban centre, and the parish church and village hall act as local focal points for community life.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and retains several older buildings and traditional field patterns, while today the economy is still strongly agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns. It is within easy reach of the A1 and market towns such as Newark-on-Trent, which together provide wider services, shops and rail links for local people.
