Warsop is a civil parish in Mansfield District, Nottinghamshire, England, on the outskirts of the remnants of Sherwood Forest. At the 2021 census the population was 12,644 residents, including the settlements of Market Warsop, Church Warsop, Warsop Vale, Meden Vale, Sookholme and Spion Kop.
==History== Church Warsop appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a settlement named Wareshope and was recorded as having a church which was St Peter and St Paul. This formed part of the hundred of Bassetlaw. The area was divided amongst the Saxon Lords Godric, Leviet, and Ulchel. Gleadthorpe Grange was also recorded in Domesday. From the Norman conquest period onwards, Warsop was held by the Norman Baron Roger de Busli, and partially held by the King's Soke of Mansfield. Sookholme and its medieval church St Augustine's along with Nettleworth Manor were first recorded later in public records during the 12th century.
