Elkesley is a village in Nottinghamshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 805,^[1] increasing to 822 at the 2011 Census,^[2] and 852 in 2021.^[3] It is located 6 miles south of Retford.

The parish church of St Giles was built c. 1300 in Decorated style, and was partially reconstructed in 1845.^[4] There previously was a pub in Elkesley named the Robin Hood this is now demolished due to being unoccupied, in its place are now residential properties. However now, the little village consists of a small shop and a primary school, which in January 2008, 82 pupils attended.^{[citation needed]}

Toponymy

Elkesley seems to contain the Old English personal name, Ealac', + lēah (Old English) a forest, wood, glade, clearing; (later) a pasture, meadow., so 'Ealac's wood/clearing'.^[5]

A1 road

Elkesley is highly unusual in that it is only accessible by a dual carriageway, the A1 road.^[6]^[7] The residents have been campaigning for a bridge for over twenty years.^{[citation needed]}

The Highways Agency (HA) has acknowledged that access to and from the village is difficult and implemented a temporary speed limit of 50 mph in the 1990s.^[7] The HA started a consultation in 2005, with an exhibition held at Elkesley village hall in February 2008. A Public Inquiry was planned for 2010 but postponed pending the outcome of the Spending Review.^[7]

In 2013, construction began on a bridge connecting Elkesley to the A1 road. It opened in mid-late 2015.
