Laxton and Moorhouse sit in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, England, and are best known for Laxton’s medieval open-field system - the last surviving working example in the country, with visible ridge-and-furrow patterns and communal strips that attract historians and visitors alike.
The area remains largely agricultural, centred on traditional farms, a handful of historic buildings including Laxton Manor, and a small, close-knit community in the neighbouring hamlet of Moorhouse. Its combination of living agricultural practice, archaeological interest and well-preserved rural landscapes gives the parish a distinctive cultural and historic character.
