Newark (Newer-See also:ea, Nouwerk) owed its origin, possibly in See also:Roman times, to its position on the great road called the See also:Fosse Way, in the valley of the Trent. In a document which purports to be a See also:charter of 664 Newark is mentioned as having been granted to the See also:abbey of See also:Peterborough by See also:Wulfhere. In the reign of Edward the See also:Confessor it belonged to See also:Godiva, who granted it to the monastery of See also:Stow, and it remained in the hands of the bishops of Lincoln until the reign of Edward VI. The castle was erected by Bishop Alexander in 1123, and the See also:bridge about the same time. Under See also:Stephen a mint was established. There were burgesses in Newark at the time of the Domesday Survey, and in the reign of Edward III. there is See also:evidence that it had long been a borough by See also:prescription. It was incorporated under an See also:alderman and twelve assistants in 1549, and the charter was confirmed and extended by See also:Elizabeth. Charles I., owing to the increasing commercial prosperity of the town, reincorporated it under a mayor and aldermen, and this charter, except for a temporary surrender under See also:- JAMES
