Lowdham is a village in Nottinghamshire between Nottingham and Southwell. Lowdham is in the Newark and Sherwood district. The dual carriageway to the north and Doncaster cuts the village in two.
The old church and the castle mound are to the west of the bypass. St Mary's church dates back to before the 14th century.
To the north east of the bypass is Lowdham Mill. There is now little sign of the frame knitting industry that was important in this area in the 19th century. In 1844 there were 94 stocking frames working in Lowdham.
Lowdham railway station is on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line. Two miles from the railway station is HMP Lowdham Grange.
Etymology
Lowdham means "village by the loud stream", from Old English hlud "loud" and ham "village, homestead". The name was recorded as Lideheme in 1046, suggesting Old English hlid "slope" as the first element, with Old Norse heimr (as in Blenheim), cognate with Old English ham "homestead, village".
