Grassthorpe is a small village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England. It sits within the gentle arable landscape of the East Midlands, characterised by hedgerows, drainage channels and open fields rather than dense woodlands, giving it a distinctly rural, low‑density feel.
Historically an agricultural community, the parish retains a scattering of cottages, farmsteads and some converted agricultural buildings, and the local economy remains largely tied to farming with many residents travelling to larger towns for work and services. Social life is quiet and village‑centred, with a sense of continuity from older buildings and field patterns that hint at medieval origins, while day‑to‑day needs are met by nearby market towns.
