The name is recorded in Domesday Book as Laxiintone, and may derive from the Anglo-Saxon... meaning the farmstead or estate of the people of a man called Leaxa. The remains of a medieval motte and bailey castle can be found on the north side of the village. The castle, which was probably more earthwork than stone, was redundant by the end of the Middle Ages, and by the 1630s a manor house had been built in the grounds where it had once been. In tutnr the manor house was demolished, but visitors can still visit the site and see the outline of the castle. [http://www.nottsheritagegateway.org.uk/places/laxton.htm

Laxton Hall looks like just the place to have tables set with Royal Doulton.*

Post #45 is related as follows:
Laxton survived, not because it was thought worthy of survival as such, but because the major landowner, Earl Manvers of Thoresby Hall, could not afford to enclose the parish.

Check out Thoresby Hall post #45. 8>)
