About Newark Castle

Newark Castle was originally a Saxon fortified manor house, founded by King Edward the Elder. In 1073, Robert Bloet, bishop of Lincoln founded an earthwork motte and bailey fortress on the site. From 1123-33, Bishop Alexander the Magnificent completely rebuilt the castle, when founding a prominent stone structure of ornate construction. In the late 13th century, the castle was substantially rebuilt with a new riverside curtain wall and after alterations in the 15th and 16th centuries, the castle became more of a palace.
