From the Wikipedia article
Oxton is a village in Nottinghamshire, England, with 568 residents at the 2011 census, falling marginally to 566 at the 2021 census. It is located 5 miles (8 km) west of Southwell, 5 miles (8 km) north of Lowdham, 10 miles (16 km) north-east of Nottingham and 2 miles (3 km) north-east of Calverton, and lies on the B6386, and is very close to the A6097 trunk road. Oxton has a church dedicated to St Peter & St Paul; a post office and two pubs. Oxton also has two fords – a small ford within the village itself, and a much larger ford on Beanford Lane – often as deep as 1-foot (0.30 m) whilst remaining open to all traffic. It is however closed each March, so that the toads found in the swamp-like area, which the ford crosses, can breed. Oxton is also home to Tithe Green Natural Burial, a natural burial ground located off Old Ruford Road/the A614
