Thorney is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, in England. Set among arable fields and hedged lanes, it lies a short drive from the market town of Newark-on-Trent and has the calm, low‑density character typical of villages in the Trent valley.
Historically the settlement grew as an agricultural community and still retains older stone and brick cottages and a parish church at its heart, though many residents now commute to nearby towns for work. The parish’s quiet lanes, surrounding farmland and close links to local markets give it a strong rural identity and a small‑scale village social life.
