Oxton is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, England. It sits amid a patchwork of arable fields, hedgerows and winding lanes, and is within easy commuting distance of Nottingham and the market towns of Newark-on-Trent and Southwell, which gives it a mix of agricultural activity and village residents who work in nearby centres.
The settlement has historic roots reflected in older cottages and a parish church, and retains a quiet, close‑knit social life centred on local community events, the village hall and traditional village amenities. Its character is typical of Nottinghamshire villages - a combination of farming heritage, a handful of listed buildings and a modest but resilient local identity.
