Owthorpe is a quiet and peaceful village with a population of around 100 people. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the Grade II listed St Margaret's Church, which dates back to the 13th century.

Many of the buildings in the village date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, including the Old Rectory and Owthorpe Hall. The village also played a role in the English Civil War, with the Battle of Willoughby Field taking place nearby in 1648. Today, Owthorpe is a charming and picturesque village that offers a glimpse into Nottinghamshire's rich history and natural beauty.
