"Nuthall Parish includes the township and chapelry of Awsworth, and contains 685 inhabitants, and 1,200 acres of land. Nuthall is a small rural village on the Alfreton Road, 4½ miles north west by north of Nottingham. Robert Holden Esq. is lord of the manor, and principal owner of the land, but Wm. Faulconbridge and a few others have estates here.
Nuthall Temple is the elegant seat of Thos. Nixon Esq., situated in an extensive park, with beautiful gardens, and a fine verdant lawn. The house is square, with two very low wings, and a handsome portico in front, approached by a light ballustraded range of steps. The roof rises raplidly to a large and lofty dome in the centre, which hides all the chimneys, and is surrounded with an airy ballustrade, commanding an extensive view of the surrounding country. The dome within displays a profusion of ornamental plaster work, and has a light gallery, supported by the pillars of the magnificent hall, which lighted from the dome, and is of an octagon figure, 36 feet in diameter, decortaed with the richest exhibitions of plastic art."
