Geography and history

The hamlet itself is by the A616 road and the River Meden.

Budby was mentioned in the Doomsday Book in 1086 with the land being owned by King William the Conqueror. The area of Sherwood Forest was a Royal Forest used for hunting by the kings. [2]

Sherwood Forest

In 1662, Budby was part of Sherwood Forest though most of the forest has since been cleared for agriculture. It consists of two farms and 13 cottages built for farm workers some of which are still used by employees of the various farms in the area.

Budby has a mid-Victorian Penfold-type post box.

Budby was formerly a township in the parish of Edwinstowe,[3] from 1866 Budby was a civil parish in its own right, on 1 October 1899 the parish was abolished to form Perlethorpe cum Budby.[4]

Royal Society for the Protection of Birds south forest nature reserve is located nearby in Sherwood Forest. [5]
