Aslockton is a small village in the borough of Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, England, a few miles east of Nottingham and close to the market town of Bingham. It sits on the edge of low-lying agricultural country near the Vale of Belvoir and has a local railway station with regular services towards Nottingham and Grantham, making it a convenient spot for commuters and visitors exploring the surrounding countryside.
The village is historically notable as the birthplace of Thomas Cranmer, the sixteenth‑century Archbishop of Canterbury, and you’ll still find local memorials and place‑names reflecting that heritage. Today Aslockton is largely residential with nearby farming, a small range of local services, an active village community and occasional events rather than heavy industry, giving it a quiet, community‑centred feel.
