From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colston Bassett is an English village in the Vale of Belvoir, in the Rushcliffe district of south-east Nottinghamshire, close to its border with Leicestershire. Lying by the River Smite, it had a population in 2001 of 225, including Wiverton Hall. This increased to 399 at the 2011 Census.
The name, first recorded in the Domesday Book as Coletone, is from the Old Norse personal name Kolr (genitive Kols), and the Old English tΕ«n “farm or village”, and so means “Kolr’s farm or village”. The suffix Bassett is from the holder of the estate in the 12th century, Ralph Bassett, a judge appointed by Henry I.
