Literature | Nottingham (Saxon, Snotingaham, place of caves). So called from the caverns in the soft sandstone rock. Montecute took King Edward III. through these subterranean passages to the hill castle, where he found the "gentle Mortimer" and Isabella, the dowager-queen. The former was slain, and the latter imprisoned. The passage is still called "Mortimer's Hole." Nottingham poet. Philip James Bailey, author of Festus. Born at Bashford-in-the-Burgh, Nottingham.

Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham, 7th Earl of Winchilsea (2 July 1647-1 January 1730), son of Heneage Finch, 1st Earl of Nottingham, entered parliament for Lichfield in 1679. He was one of the privy councillors who in 1685 signed the order for the proclamation of the duke of York, but during the whole of the reign of James II he kept away from the court. At the last moment he hesitated to join in the invitation to William of Orange, and after the abdication of James II he was the leader of the party who were in favour of a regency. He declined the office of Lord Chancellor under William and Mary, but accepted that of secretary of state, retaining it till December 1693. Under Anne he in 1702 again accepted the same office in the ministry of Godolphin, but finally retired in 1704. On the accession of George I he was made Lord President of the Council, but in 1716 he finally withdrew from office. He succeeded to the Earldom of Winchilsea (with which the Nottingham title now became united) on 9 September 1729, and died on the 1 January 1730.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham."

This is about the English city of Nottingham. For other uses, see Nottingham (disambiguation).
Nottingham is a city located in the East Midlands of England.
Nottingham lies on the River Trent, which flows from Stoke-on-Trent to the Humber - the only English river to flow North.
Earlier names for the settlement include Tigguo Cobauc and Snottingham (from the Anglo-Saxon King Snot's home). The populace are grateful that the S became lost in the course of history.
It is famous for Nottingham Lace and the supposedly exceptional beauty of its young women.
It is close to the M1 motorway and also served by train services to London, Birmingham, the north and all other parts of the UK. It is a short distance from East Midlands Airport, making the city easily accessible from all parts of the world.
