Untitled[edit]

I'm pretty sure this is referring to the Newark Castle in Nottinghamshire. (see http://www.newarkadvertiser.co.uk/notts/tourism/castle.htm.) Yet, it is linked from the page on Inverclyde, which is in Scotland (and where I live.) There is a Newark castle here, in Port Glasgow, but it is NOT the one that this page is describing.

I suggest a disambiguation page, but I'm not willing to do it myself in case I've just got the wrong end of the stick regarding the two castles.

"founded by Egbert, king of the West Saxons"[edit]

If it was, it was the earliest castle in England by a good two hundred years. :-) (RJP 13:55, 15 March 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Newark Castle[edit]

I'm doing a History Conference next week on Newark Castle can you give me any info.

Cheers

Newark Castle Civil War Trail[edit]

Newark Castle is really a stronghold for the English Civil War during 1645-1649. It encounted three bloody sieges with sword and gunpowder.

There's a nice free-to-use image at this page, should the need arise. :) --Jza84 | Talk

Dismantling?[edit]

The dismantling started in 1646, after the surrender of the Royal forces. What happened then? Was it re-built? 86.148.130.233 (talk) 12:35, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a note to the article explaining the castle was restored in the 19th century by Anthony Salvin. Nev1 (talk) 12:52, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
