The county divides into six wapentakes; [[Bassetlaw]] in the north, [[Newark (wapentake)|Newark]] in the east, Bingham in the south-east, Rushcliffe in the south-west, Broxtow in the west and Thurgarton in the centre. None of the wapentakes have any administrative function as of 2024, although some local government districts and parliamentary constituencies have names based on them.
