Skegby Nottinghamshire Map

About Skegby

Skegby, a quiet corner of Nottinghamshire, breathes with a gentle presence. It lies 1.8 km north-west of Sutton in Ashfield (from Sutton in Ashfield: bearing 325°T, OS grid SK 488 608), and is situated north-east of Stanton Hill village. The low, rolling hills that embrace Skegby often hold a soft haze in the early mornings, lending a dreamlike quality to the landscape as the sun begins its slow ascent. Once, the land here was shaped by the rhythm of coal mining, a deep, subterranean pulse that once defined its industry. Now, the greens of its fields seem to absorb the quietude, a gentle balm after a day's labour, and the old stone of the parish church, St. Michael and All Angels, stands as a silent sentinel to the generations who have passed through Skegby's embrace. The air, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, whispers tales of a past both industrious and serene.
