Hawton

All Saints' Church, Hawton

Hawton is an English civil parish of some 70 inhabitants, being measured at 147 in the 2011 Census. It is situated to the south of Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire, near the River Devon.

It played an important part in the English Civil War as a Roundhead encampment against the Royalist stonghold in Newark, and a redoubt earthworks are still visible within the village. It is most famed for the parish church of All Saints, built in the 14th and 15th centuries. The early 14th century saw the first building (on an earlier site) by the de Compton family. Sir Thomas Molyneux added the clerestorey and also the tower which boldly overlooks the Trent floodplain. A branch of the Molyneux family, originally from Lancashire, lived at Hawton for many centuries.
