  Nottinghamshire: history and archaeology | Articles - Notts Villages: Holme Pierrepont (1)
HOLME was the old Danish word for a riverside meadow; Pierrepoint it is hardly necessary to say, is the name of the family of early owners, and it was added to distinguish this village from the Holme, near Newark, and others of the same appellation.
Holme may have been a small village under the Saxon and Danes, and there was a church near by at Adbolton where the inhabitants of this settlement may have worshipped.
Towards the close of the 14th century, the church was replaced by a new and doubtless larger one, of which the embattled tower, the arcade, the head of a two-light window in the north wall at the western end, and the font survive.
