Huthwaite (formerly known as Hucknall-under-Huthwaite) is a town and parish on the Derbyshire border, with a station 1 mile north-west, called Whiteboro', on the Teversal branch of the Midland railway, 2½ miles west from Sutton-in-Ashfield station, on the Ambergate, Mansfield and Southwell branch of the Midland railway, and 5 west from Mansfield, in the Mansfield division of the county, northern division of the wapentake of Broxtow, union, petty sessional division and county court district of Mansfield, and in Mansfield rural deanery, archdeaconry of Newark and diocese of Southwell. The "Local Government Act, 1858," was adopted by the parish July 9, 1873, and a Local Board formed, but under the "Local Government Act, 1894," the parish is now governed by an Urban District Council of 15 members. In May, 1911, part of Sutton-in-Ashfield was added to Huthwaite for ecclesiastical purposes. The church of All Saints, erected in 1903, is an edifice built of rock brought up from the local colliery, with Mansfield stone dressings, in the Early English style, consisting of chancel, nave and north aisle, with the base only of a tower and one bell. The living is a vicarage, net yearly value £200, in the gift of the vicar of Sutton-in-Ashfield, and held since 1906 by the Rev. Francis Newbold Beswick, of St. Aidan's. There are Wesleyan, Primitive Methodist and United Methodist chapels. A cemetery of two acres, containing a mortuary chapel, was opened in 1889 and enlarged by the addition of 1½ acres in 1912, and is controlled by the Urban Council. The Working Men's Institute and Reading Room was erected in 1893 by the colliery company, at a cost of over £1,000. The manufacture of cotton and woollen hose is the principle trade of the place, but a large colliery, opened in 1877, gives employment to upwards of 1,250 hands. The Duke of Portland K.G., G.C.V.O., P.C. who is lord of the manor, and the trustees of the late Robert Marsh Eckersley Wilkinson Dodsley esq. of Skegby Hall, are the principal landowners. The soil is clay; subsoil, magnesian limestone. The chief crops are wheat, oats and barley, and good pasture land. The area is 1,199 acres ; rateable value, £17,807; the population in 1901 was 4,076, and in 1911, 5,235.
