Holme is a hamlet and civil parish in Nottinghamshire, England. The population of the civil parish (including Langford) at the 2011 census was 165,[1] Holme alone registered 80 residents at the 2021 census.[2] It is within the district of Newark and Sherwood, on the east of the River Trent, less than half a mile from the riverside and 4 miles north of Newark-on-Trent.
The parish church of St Giles is an Early Tudor rebuild of a 13th-century church. The Lancashire wool merchant John Barton was responsible for the rebuilding. He died in 1491, and is buried in the chancel with his wife. In a window of his house at Holme is inscribed the verse:
- I thanke God, and ever shall,
- It is the sheep have paid for all.[3]
Holme was historically a chapelry in the ancient parish of North Muskham. Until about 1575 it lay on the west side of the River Trent, but there was then a cataclysmic flood which changed the course of the river.[4] Holme was therefore separated by the river from the rest of the parish. In 1866 Holme became a separate civil parish.[5]
The last known catch of a sturgeon on the Trent occurred in 1902 near the village, the fish was eight and a half feet long and weighed 250 pounds.[6]
