Hockerton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, in rural Nottinghamshire, England. It sits amid rolling farmland and lanes, a quiet community with a largely agricultural character and a modest population that often commutes to nearby market towns such as Southwell and Newark-on-Trent.
The village punches above its weight culturally because of the well-known Hockerton Housing Project, a late-1990s low-energy, earth‑sheltered housing scheme that attracts interest from visitors and sustainable‑living groups. Otherwise the parish is noted for its traditional cottages and village feel, local farming activity and a small but active community life rather than any heavy industry or large commercial centres.
