Annesley Woodhouse is a village in Nottinghamshire, England, located approximately 10 mi (16 km) north of the City of Nottingham and 6 mi (9.6 km) south of Mansfield, close to Junction 27 of the M1 motorway. It has a current population of around 3,500, the data from the 2011 census being included in the civil parish of Annesley.
Annesley Woodhouse originated as a farming community and expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries as the mining industry locally was established and grew. In the post-war years and beyond, the village has grown rapidly and conjoined with neighbouring villages Nuncargate & Kirkby Woodhouse. All have now become an extension of their 'parent' town, Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
With the demise of the mining industry in the 1990s Annesley Woodhouse is now largely a residential area with people travelling out of the village for education, employment and leisure.
A windmill was located near to Midfield Road (grid reference SK507542 ).
