Edingley is a village in Nottinghamshire, three miles north-west of Southwell.
The 2011 census recorded a parish population of 443.
The name 'Edingley' contains the Old English personal name, Eddi, so 'Eddi's meadow (or woodland clearing)'.[1][2]
The parish church, St Giles, is Norman, but was almost completely rebuilt in a restoration in 1890.[3]
About the village
Edingley is a largely agricultural parish with two local businesses- Highfields→ nursing home and Forrest Feeds.
Its allotments are historic and the plot originally held the poor house and is the same plot as in the enclosure act of 1781 and formally surveyed in 1899.[4]
The village school was built in 1911–12 and closed in the 1960s. The private Edgehill school took over the building and extended northwards with a series of temporary buildings. This closed in 1996. The same building, known as the Old Schoolroom, is now the village community hall.
