Church Laneham is a hamlet in Nottinghamshire, nine miles east of Retford, on the west bank of the tidal section of the River Trent. The hamlet is within the Laneham civil parish, and is half a mile to the east of Laneham village.
This was originally an estate village of the Bishop of York, and the location of a ferry crossing of the river, commemorated by the name of the public house The Ferry Boat Inn which continues to operate opposite the lane which used to be the entrance to the ferryport.
