Gotham is a small village in the borough of Rushcliffe, in rural Nottinghamshire, England, lying a short drive to the south of Nottingham. It sits amid low-lying farmland and retains a compact, village feel with a mix of traditional cottages and more modern housing; many residents commute into the city while local life still revolves around community amenities and the surrounding agricultural economy.
The village is best known for the medieval folktales of the "Wise Men of Gotham", in which locals reputedly pretended to be fools to avoid royal imposition - a story that has given the name wider cultural resonance and was later used satirically for places such as New York and fictional Gotham City. That blend of quiet rural character and a quirky, well-documented past makes Gotham one of Nottinghamshire's more memorably named settlements.
