Newark Castle is a Norman castle founded in the 12th century, situated on the River Trent in Nottinghamshire. The castle was established by Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, around 1123 and subsequently became an important royal stronghold. The surviving structure consists primarily of a massive stone gatehouse, which exemplifies the military architecture of the medieval period and represents one of the finest examples of its kind. The castle played a significant role in English history, notably during the English Civil War when it was besieged by Parliamentarian forces, resulting in considerable damage to the fortifications.
