Lowdham is a village and civil parish in the Newark and Sherwood district of Nottinghamshire between Nottingham and Southwell. According to the 2021 census, it had a population of 3,247. Two main roads slicing through the village are the A6097 south-east to north-west and the A612 between Nottingham and Southwell.

==History== The name Lowdham seems to be derived from the Old English masculine personal nickname Hluda, combined with "hām," meaning village, community, manor, estate, or homestead, resulting in "Hluda's homestead or village." However, the name Lowdham also suggests a Danish origin, with earlier forms such as Ludham and Ludholme.
