Newark Photographic Memories Pocket Album
Newark owes much of its development to the fact that Henry I gave Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, permission to divert the route of the Fosse Way through the town.

This view shows Trent Bridge with the Ossington on the left, the castle on the right and the spire of St Mary Magdalen in the background. One interesting fact about St Mary's is that the 252?ft-high spire is thirty feet longer than the ground plan of the main body of the building.
