mews style houses and 4 detached houses. The hall is grade 2 listed. The Church See St Peter and St Paul's Church, Widmerpool A Baptist chapel and a Wesleyan Methodist chapel were built in the village by 1853. Now During the 20th century employment of the villages by the estate gradually diminished and ceased with the advent of easier transport and machinery. The village residents, once consisting of farm workers, teachers, smiths, gardeners, grooms and the like almost entirely centred on agriculture and concerns of the estate largely, today, travel to work. The village no longer has its own school, nor a shop or a post office. The public house has shut and the village hall was sold in 1975. In 2007, Widmerpool received the 'Best Kept Village' award for Nottinghamshire.
