Newark is a town in Nottinghamshire, located on the River Trent. The River Devon also runs through the town.

It is a historic market town, with a castle. King John of England died there. During the English Civil War, Newark survived a siege by Cromwell's forces. The town was ordered to surrender by Charles I after its capture, and the defending forces left with their heads held high.
