Newark-On-Trent History of Queen's Sconce
cllrlaurencegoffnewark@yahoo.co.uk
Stories surrounding the land now know as Sconce and Devon Park date back to the 14th century with the legend of St Catherines Well. The Park has grown over its history, to include sports provision, local nature reserves, heritage features, play equipment, riverside walks, with the central feature being the internationally significant Queens Sconce (a Scheduled Ancient Monument), a Civil War fortification for the town, constructed in 1644, at a key point on the River Trent and Great North Road. The Park has also been home to some of the area's most significant industrial activity such as Scales Linen Mill in 1793 (which was then closed over a hundred years later in 1889), and the Hawton Works (gypsum quarry) was also established during the industrial revolution and by 1867 a horse drawn tramway was operating between the quarry and Spring Wharf through the Park. By 1901 the tramway was replaced by a railway, which operated through to 1951.The military was based at the Park during the First and Second World Wars.
This former free public library was purpose-built for the town by a very successful local maltster, Sir William Gilstrap, at his own expense and opened in 1883. It is located within the castle grounds in Castlegate.

Gilstrap Centre Newark-On-Trent Castle full of history
This former free public library was purpose-built for the town by a very successful local maltster, Sir William Gilstrap, at his own expense and opened in 1883. It is located within the castle grounds in Castlegate.
Against all odds - the final siege of Newark-On-Trent 1646
A little bit of our history a view from Newark Castle looks very impressive. The surrounds of the castle you discover that the walls are just a facade. Only one and a half sides of the castle remain, but that does include the oldest part of the castle, a large gatehouse.
The castle was built in 1133 by Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, and it remained a seat of the Bishops of Lincoln until 1547 when King Henry VIII took it for the Crown. During the Civil War the castle became an important Royalist garrison, holding out against three long sieges in 1643, 1644 and 1646. On 5 May 1646 King Charles I was captured at nearby Southwell and ordered Newark to surrender. The Parliamentarians then destroyed the castle.
The walls of this once mighty fortress which stands on the east bank of the river Trent are only a remnant of what was once here. The fortress built by Alexander the Magnificent Bishop of Lincoln, served not only as a residence, but also as a stronghold, prison and administration centre. It was a symbol of rank and power.
King John visited Newark Castle at least six times and in the year AD1216 died here, most probably in the chapel in the Gatehouse. The ruined walls have served as a sentinel guarding the western approach to Newark on Trent. The battlements of the castle have suffered bombardment from stone throwing devices and later, during the Civil War, from cannon shot. Newark Castle not only has a fascinating history but also has interesting architectural features which alone make it well worthy of a visit.

Newark-On-Trent History
The second siege of Newark-On-Trent was relieved by Prince Rupert in March 1644. After Rupert's departure, the artillery left behind by the defeated Parliamentarians was incorporated into Newark's defences, which were significantly extended. The Spittal, which had served as the Parliamentarian headquarters during the 1644 siege, was completely demolished and a great earthwork called the King's Sconce was constructed in its place. The sconce was nearly three hundred feet across and covered an area of three acres. It was square with arrow-head bastions at each corner where cannon were mounted, and was surrounded by a ditch up to thirty feet wide and fifteen feet deep. An identical fort was constructed to guard the southern approach to Newark. It was called the Queen's Sconce and still stands today.

Newark Queen's Sconce Sealed Knot Civil War re-enactment
The Sealed Knot is the oldest and largest re-enactment society in the UK, a registered educational charity, and the single biggest re-enactment society in Europe. Back in 1968 Brigadier Peter Young and a group of friends, following a garden party in cavalier costume to publicise the launch of Peter Young's book on the Battle of Edgehill, came up with the idea of forming a period army -- an idea that soon took off and within two years there were more than one thousand members of this Royalist Army. Now, in our 42nd year, with the early addition of the Parliamentarian army and later the Scots Brigade, our membership has grown to make us the biggest society in the UK, and in Europe; only being out-stripped by one other society worldwide. The aims of the Society are not to glorify war, but to honour those that died in the many battles of the English Civil Wars, and to educate the public, both young and old, about the wars, and also about the lives and times of people in that period.
