Historic buildings

The parish church of St James was rebuilt in 1879–1882. Halloughton Manor House is a 13th-century prebendal house of the college of Southwell. Its medieval tower house is now incorporated into a farmhouse of the late 18th century.[1]

Most of the farms and properties in the parish were owned by the Church Commissioners until 1952, when they were sold to their sitting tenants.[2]

Governance

Halloughton, as a small village, holds an annual parish meeting, rather than running a parish council.[3] It lies in the district of Newark and Sherwood and the UK parliamentary constituency of Newark.
