Nottinghamshire is divided into the seven non-metropolitan boroughs of Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Gedling, Mansfield, Newark and Sherwood, and Rushcliffe. Nottingham was administratively part of Nottinghamshire between 1974 and 1998, but is now a unitary authority[3] which remains part of Nottinghamshire for ceremonial purposes. The county saw a minor change in its boundaries as Finningley was transferred to the City of Doncaster in South Yorkshire.
