Bingham

A market town near the Fosseway, ten miles east of Nottingham, which depended for some of its prosperity upon the fact that it is situated near the centre of the fertile corn-growing Vale of Belvoir. It gave its name to one of the ancient wapentakes. Markets are held in the Town Square on Thursdays.

Moot House Pit was probably the place of meeting. The Rt Hon. Robert Lowe, Chancellor of the Exchequer and afterwards Viscount Sherbrooke, was born here, his father being rector of the parish. It is a Union town, head of a Petty Sessional division and County Court district.
