Spalford is a hamlet and civil parish in the Newark and Sherwood district of Nottinghamshire, England. Spalford was listed in the Domesday Book (1086) as 'Spaldesforde'.[1]
The hamlet is located between South Clifton and Weecar near the county boundary with Lincolnshire, north of Newark-on-Trent.[2] Spalford was a township in the parish of North Clifton,[3] it became a separate parish in 1866.[4]
According to the 2001 census it had a population of 85.[5] 20 years later, 91 residents were reported at the 2021 census.[6]
To the west of the parish is the River Trent, and to the south is the Local nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest known as Spalford Warren. The reserve habitat is made up of blown sand heathland, which is rare in Nottinghamshire.[7]
