Bole is a village in Nottinghamshire. It is close by the River Trent, on the eastern side of which is Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. At one time the village stood (like the neighbouring parish of West Burton) very near to an oxbow lake, known as Bole Round. However flooding led to the original course of the River Trent being diverted after 1792. The parish now lies within a landscape largely dominated by the West Burton power stations.
The 2011 census recorded a population of 247 in Bole.
History
The parish church of St Martin was extensively rebuilt in 1865–66 by Ewan Christian.[1] In former times the village also had shops, public houses and a post office.
The original church is mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086. From an early date the vicarage was in the patronage of the prebendary of Bole, being until 1841 part of the Peculiar jurisdiction of the Dean and chapter of York.[2]
During the early 19th century the manor of Bole or Bolum was held by Lord Wenlock.[3] However, in 1858 the Bole estate was transferred to the use of Lord Middleton, head of the Willoughby family from Wollaton Hall.[4]
The old National school was built in 1859[5] but closed during the early 1950s. It now serves as the village hall. A small Wesleyan chapel was also closed during the early 1960s, being sold and converted for residential use.
There once stood a windmill close to the Gainsborough road (SK789864). Manor Farm, a listed building next to Bole Church, includes earlier portions dating from c1675.[6]
