| Laxton is situated in the north of
Nottinghamshire, close to the A1, but its agricultural system functions
according to the rules of the system established in mediaeval times.
The three Open Fields contain strips worked by the
farmers of the village, tenants of the Crown Estate, under the
jurisdiction of the Court Leet. This legally constituted manorial court
ensures that the three year crop rotation continues and that the farmers
maintain the boundaries of their strips as they always have. |
 |
| There are approximately 100 dwellings in
the village, which has a church, a popular pub, The Dovecote Inn, and a
traditional village shop / Post Office. The Laxton Visitor Centre stands
in the grounds of The Dovecote. The church of
St Michael the Archangel is a historic building
in its own right and has a host of historic features of interest to
visitors and scholars alike. |
