Ossington is a small, very rural civil parish in the Newark and Sherwood district of Nottinghamshire, England, lying a short drive from Newark-on-Trent and the A1. The settlement is tiny and spread out, surrounded by farmland, parkland and pockets of estate woodland, so its character is quietly agricultural with many residents looking to nearby market towns for services and work.
The parish is perhaps best known for its association with the country estate and former seat, Ossington Hall, and the surviving church of All Saints, both of which reflect the long social history of landed families in the area; the hall itself was demolished in the mid-20th century but monuments and parkland survive. That legacy gives the place a distinctly historic, estate-driven feel alongside contemporary rural life.
