Ollerton is a town and former civil parish, now in the parish of Ollerton and Boughton,[2] in the Newark and Sherwood district, in the county of Nottinghamshire, England, on the edge of Sherwood Forest in the area known as the Dukeries. The population of Ollerton and Boughton at the 2011 census was 9,840.[3]

The area is sometimes differentiated locally using the names New Ollerton for the post-1900 expansion,[4] compared with Old Ollerton referring to the original village clustered around the church, river and mill.[5]

  5. ^ Statement of case on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council "The increase in levels of congestion at A614/A616/A6075 Ollerton Roundabout has also resulted in motorists seeking alternative routes to access and egress the A614, avoiding the Ollerton Roundabout by using unsuitable routes like Station Road through Old Ollerton despite the road being narrow and subject to physical traffic calming. A campaign group called Ollerton Village Residents Association (OVRA) was formed over 30 years ago to help preserve and protect the historic core of the Old Ollerton village".
