Can be busy in summer with BBQs which may ruin the enjoyment a little.

Sadly most of the apple trees that used to be here a few years ago have been chopped down. How many trees makes an orchard? More than there are I would say!

This Augustinian priory was founded in 1119-39. It was closed by Henry Vlll in 1538. The red-brick Georgian country house was built in 1777 and is attached to a remnant of the Priory church which now serves as Thurgarton's parish church. If you are lucky you will see various vintage cars parked to the front of the Priory.

This might be the base for a haulage business or wagon trailors might simply be parked up for storage here. Big new farm storage sheds are located here also

The former Maythorne Mill, its former workersโ€™ cottages and its ancillary buildings, plus a farm, form the greater part of this small hamlet. It was a cotton mill built in 1785 to supply the framework knitting industry with yarns. The speculator that built Maythorne was a Southwell hop merchant. In the early C19th the mill was adapted to produce silk and lace thread. There was also a Mission Hall, a pub & general store. The mainly female workforce was required to wind silk on bobbins, form it into shanks before it was finally washed and pressed and despatched to Nottingham. However, yarn & thread products were not the only items produced here as osier beds provided willow for basket-making and hops were also grown locally. From 1939-45 the mill was used to billet soldiers and in 1948 the land & buildings were put to agricultural use. the mill building has been converted into residential flats & some workshops in various outbuildings. The mill wheel was powered by the River Greet.
