EspañolASLOCKTON
'Aslockton' is a village and civil parish twelve miles (19 km) east of Nottingham, England and two miles east of Bingham on the north bank of the River Smite opposite Whatton. It has a population of around 1,000 [1].
The village is the site of Aslockton railway station and, despite its small size contains two pubs, the Greyhound and the Cranmere Arms. The Greyhound is currently threatened with demolition[2] by its owners, Scottish and Newcastle Pub Enterprises.
The name of the village comes from the Danish and Saxon name Haslachstone and became Aslacton before becoming the modern Aslockton. Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury 1533–1553, was born in Aslockton and spent his childhood in a cottage that still exists today. The local school is named in his honour.
