Newark was one of the strongholds in the Civil war and there is much evidence of this in the town. St Mary's Parish church spire has a hole which is clearly visible from some aspects, where a Roundhead cannonball passed through as the town was being bombarded.

Drinks & Nightlife
The Royal Oak stands at the side of the largest village green in England and the history of its site goes back to Roman times when it seems that there was a 'Temple of Bachus'. Mine host, Richard and his wife Vicky are the most hospitable hosts and the restaurant menu is highly recommended. At the rear of the pub is a good sized, well maintained field which accepts caravans and motor caravans. The facilities supplied are excellent.
