A little history
King John died at Newark Castle in October 1216. Newark was the last Royalist town to surrender in the Civil War — three sieges were fought here between 1643 and 1646. The market place, with its surviving medieval and Georgian buildings, is one of England's finest. The Gilstrap Centre museum tells the story brilliantly.
The castle ruins are free and excellent — the riverside setting is beautiful. The market place for local Nottinghamshire produce. The Gilstrap Centre for the Civil War story. The antique shops are excellent.
