Cropwell Bishop History

The picturesque village of Cropwell Bishop lies between the Vale of Belvoir and the plain of the River Trent. One mile south of Cropwell Butler and four miles south east of Bingham. It is situated on the east side of the Nottingham to Grantham Canal which passes within a few hundred yards of the village centre.The name of Cropwell is derived from a round hill between the villages of Cropwell Bishop and Cropwell Butler. Cropwell means "with a crop or hump". Located close to the Fosse Way, the village was mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086. The village is also home to Cropwell Bishop Creamery, famous for its award winning stilton and other fine English cheeses.
