Welcome to Costock Village
Costock is situated in the south of the Borough on the A60 Loughborough Road. The village is situated in an elevated position in the Nottinghamshire Wolds Character Area and is surrounded by arable and pasture land. The neighbouring village of East Leake is situated less than a mile to the west along Leake Road while just over a mile to the south along the A60, lies the village of Rempstone.
Costock’s historic core, bounded by Church Lane and Chapel Lane is very picturesque and has a genuine village feel with winding and secluded lanes, trees and high walls.
The church and Manor House stand close together, the latter being one of the most charming Elizabethan stone houses in Nottinghamshire. The church of St Giles on the other hand, has undergone major restoration in 1688, 1848 and 1862, though some of the original 14th century masonry, both internal and external, still remains.

Costock Nature Reserve
After a mixed summer of sunshine and showers the wild flower meadow has grown in abundance! With this in mind we have taken the unusual step of employing Charles Burton to cut and bale the grass, and take it away. This is in contrast to previous years when we have asked volunteers to help rake the cut grass. I am sure that the change is a great relief to many people! Although the camaraderie will be missed the aching muscles won’t!
We would like to thank the usual volunteers who have worked tirelessly this year to maintain the nature reserve for the benefit of the community. These include Ann Lister, June Irons, Tony Cragg Steve Wyles, Bob Simpson and David Brown. Thank you for all your hard work.
If you would like to become a Friend of Costock Nature Reserve and receive updates of news and/or would like to help then please contact Ann Lister via the Parish Clerk.
