From Anglo-Saxon farmstead to one of Nottingham’s most desirable suburbs, Edwalton’s story spans nearly a thousand years.
Edwalton's name derives from the Anglo-Saxon 'Eadweald's tun' (farmstead), recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. For centuries it remained a small agricultural village, clustered around Holy Rood Church and surrounded by farmland. The historic village core retains much of this character today.
The transformation came in the mid-20th century when Nottingham’s expansion brought new residential development to Edwalton. Unlike many villages absorbed by urban sprawl, Edwalton maintained its distinct identity, with the historic centre protected as a Conservation Area. Today it offers residents the rare combination of village character within easy reach of city amenities.
Edwalton was recorded as ‘Edwoldestune’ in the Domesday Book, meaning ‘Eadweald’s farmstead’ – an Anglo-Saxon settlement.
The Church of the Holy Rood was founded, becoming the spiritual heart of the village for over 800 years.
Holy Rood Church was rebuilt by architect TC Hine, creating the distinctive Victorian Gothic structure seen today.
The municipal golf course opened, providing recreational facilities that still serve the community today.
Major expansion transformed Edwalton from a small village into an affluent residential suburb of Nottingham.
