Xanthogramma pedissequum (Harris, 1776)
A large and distinctive Hoverfly, but there is one other species that could cause identification confusion.

Although we have a record from Market Warsop, our only other encounters with this attractive species, are from a Mapperley garden and a brownfield site at Langar.
