More about this scene
The charming central Green is overlooked by houses and shops, most of which were built in the late 18th and 19th centuries when local merchants invested wealth made in the maritime trade in bricks and mortar. The first greenhouse in England is said to have been made and erected in Newnham by Sir Edward Mansell, who established the country's earliest coal-fired glass- making furnace at a works to the north end of town.
