The resident population of the parish was 65 at the 2021 census.[1] Historic buildingsThe parish church of St James was rebuilt in 1879–1882. Halloughton Manor House is a 13th-century prebendal house of the college of Southwell. Its medieval tower house is now incorporated into a farmhouse built in the late 18th century.[2] Most of the farms and properties in the parish were owned by the Church Commissioners until 1952, when they were put for sale to their sitting tenants.[3] GovernanceHalloughton, as a small village, holds an annual parish meeting, rather than running a parish council.[4] It lies in the district of Newark and Sherwood and the UK parliamentary constituency of Newark.
