History

Nottingham sent two representatives to Parliament from 1283 onwards.

In the mid eighteenth century it was influenced by the large local landowners the Duke of Newcastle for the Whigs and Lord Middleton for the Tories and as a consequence would tend to return MP from each party. [2]

The constituency was abolished in 1885 and replaced by Nottingham East, Nottingham South and Nottingham West.
