Oxton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England, set in gently rolling farmland a few miles from the market towns of Southwell and Newark-on-Trent. Its character is typically rural, with lanes, hedgerows and nearby woodland; the district itself takes its name from the historic Sherwood Forest.
The village has a compact historic core of stone and brick cottages, a parish church and several listed buildings that reflect a long local history. Economically the area remains largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns, while community life centres on a village hall, local pub and seasonal events that help preserve a strong village sense of identity.
