From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Newark is a market town and civil parish in the Newark and Sherwood district of Nottinghamshire, England. It stands on the River Trent, the A1 – the ancient Great North Road – and the East Coast Main Line railway. Its origins may be Roman, as it lies on a major Roman road, the Fosse Way. A centre for the wool and cloth trades, it grew up round Newark Castle, now ruined, and a market place still lined with historic buildings. In the English Civil War, it was besieged by Parliamentary forces and relieved by Royalist forces under Prince Rupert. Many present-day Newark residents commute to Lincoln and Nottingham.

The place-name Newark is first attested in the Cartulary of Eynsham Abbey in Oxfordshire, where it appears as Newercha in about 1054–1057 and Niweweorche in about 1075–1092. It appears as Newerche in the 1086 Domesday Book. The name means ‘New work’, with the apparent meaning of “New fort”.
