Nottinghamshire

  • For ease of administration the county was sub-divided into Wapentakes, which subsequently became known as Hundreds. In the Middle Ages there were six Wapentakes: Newark, Bassetlaw, Thurgarton, Rushcliffe, Broxtowe, and Bingham. By the sixteenth century they ceased to have real administrative importance but remained as a useful way of discussing the geography of the county, hence Dr Robert Thoroton's use of these divisions for his 'progress' around the county: Antiquities of Nottinghamshire (1677).
     
  • The modern Nottingham County Council was formed in 1889 of fifty-one councillors and 17 aldermen. Lord BELPER was the first chairman.
     
  • The City of Nottingham was part of Nottinghamshire until 1998, but is now a Unitary authority.
