context_page_description: Ossington is a village in the county of Nottinghamshire, England 7 miles north of Newark-on-Trent. Its population is included in the civil parish of Laxton and Moorhouse. It was centred on Ossington Hall, the ancestral home of the Denison family, but the house was demolished in 1964 and all that remains are a few outbuildings and a private chapel that now serves the parish as Holy Rood Church, Ossington. This is a Grade I listed building, originally 12th century and rebuilt in 1782–1783 by the architect John Carr, with minor 19th-century alterations and additions. It includes earlier monuments and stained glass. There is a barrel organ built by Thomas Robson in 1840.
context_section_description: After the Second World War, the hall fell into disrepair and was pulled down in 1964.
