Household composition
A broad view of household types in this constituency. Project Open Gov uses the four broad groups supplied by the Commons Library so the presentation remains consistent across the UK.
45,490 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households29.3% · 13,324 households
Families with dependent children25.5% · 11,621 households
Other single-family households42.1% · 19,153 households
Other household types3.1% · 1,392 households
Household-composition figures come from the Commons Library constituency dataset. The source uses census data and Project Open Gov displays its broad household groups rather than attempting to harmonise the detailed categories itself. View household-composition source ↗
Disability and day-to-day activities
The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
105,063 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot7.3% · 7,684 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.9% · 11,478 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act81.8% · 85,901 people
Comparison note: the workbook uses different source terminology across the UK: England & Wales uses “Disabled under the Equality Act”, while Scotland and Northern Ireland use “Disabled” / “Non-disabled”. Project Open Gov therefore preserves the source categories and does not present them as one single like-for-like UK legal definition.
Disability figures come from the Commons Library constituency workbook. This profile uses the person-level tables only; the workbook also contains separate household-level disability tables which are not used here. View disability source ↗

Restoring Traquair’s Vision: The Clayworth Murals Project
Southwell and Nottingham Diocesan Board of Finance
£249,217
The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage
About this award
St Peter’s Church, Clayworth, is a place of exceptional historic and architectural interest, reflecting many phases of development from the Saxon period onwards. The building contains significant historic fabric and furnishings - 1556 Fitzwilliam Tomb, 12 superb stained glass windows, 17th century Rectors’ Book - and has been at the centre of worship and community life for centuries. One of the church’s most important features are the wall paintings by Phoebe Traquair. These murals are the largest work by this internationally recognised Arts and Crafts artist outside Scotland and represent a rare example of early twentieth-century ecclesiastical mural painting in England. The primary aim of the project is to conserve the murals: they were added to the At Risk Register due to active deterioration. The project will increase understanding, access and engagement through activities, learning and interpretation, ensuring this heritage is better understood and cared for in the long term.
