Newark Castle
Newark Castle is a medieval stone castle in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, founded in the mid-12th century by the Bishop of Lincoln and rebuilt in stone by the end of that century. It was an important royal and episcopal stronghold, later slighted in the 17th century and restored in the 19th century; the site today is a protected scheduled monument and Grade I listed building.

As it stood in 1216
The shape it held in its prime.
A long riverside stone fortress of yellow-brown sandstone with a continuous curtain wall running along the Trent, punctuated by several square, multi-storey towers and a large rectangular tower near the river. The river face shows arched entrances, tall mullioned windows and an oriel-like projecting window; masonry bands and patched repairs are visible. At its prime the rooflines would have been complete with crenellated wallwalks and battlements above an inner ward set back from the riverbank.
