Aslockton is a village and civil parish twelve miles (19 km) east of Nottingham, England and two miles east of Bingham on the north bank of the River Smite opposite Whatton.
The name of the village comes from the Danish and Saxon name Haslachstone and became Aslacton before becoming the modern Aslockton.
Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury 1533–1553, was born in Aslockton and spent his childhood in a cottage that still exists today.
ASLOCKTON is justly proud of its old associations; at all events, it makes the most of them and of the title to lasting fame which its connection with the Cranmers gives it.
Thomas Cranmer, whose slab we have described, married Agnes, daughter of Laurance Hatfield, of Willoughby, Notts, and resided at the old manor-house at Aslockton.
Leland speaks of Aslockton and the ‘heire of the Cranmers,’ the Archbishop’s elder brother, and it would be to his house that the martyr resorted when visiting the neighbourhood.
