About Fledborough

Fledborough is a hamlet located in Nottinghamshire, England, known for its historical significance in the 18th century as the "Gretna Green of the Midlands." This nickname stemmed from the Anglican parish church of St Gregory's, where couples could easily obtain marriage licenses from Reverend W. Sweetapple. Despite the church now being redundant, Fledborough remains a point of interest for those researching planning applications and local heritage in the area. The settlement has a population of approximately 38 (2021 estimate). It sits within the Bassetlaw district.
