Darlton is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 102 [1]. It is located 3 miles west of Dunham-on-Trent. The parish church of St Giles is Transitional in style, heavily restored in 1855 by T.C Hine. Kingshaugh House was originally a hunting lodge built to serve the eastern Le Clay division of Sherwood Forest. It was fortified with earthworks in a rebellion of 1196 against King John of England. A new lodge was built in 1210-11 at a cost of £550. This new build was abandoned after 1217. The present late 17th century farmhouse incorporates some masonry from this lodge [2]
