Newark Castle by phil_sandford

Newark Castle

As Carole has said, we took a drive into Newark today; a town I drive either around (or through, depending on traffic conditions on its by-pass) but have never actually parked up and walked around. Carole also mentioned, that the car dealership I've used since 2003 went into receivership last week and I needed to touch base with the nearest alternative (a pleasant surprise, as the general manager of the new place 'was' the general manager of the place that has gone bust)

King John died in Newark Castle, after having gone against the Barons and the Magna Carta he had signed; history all around us

What a castle. Ruins and all. King John, oh my!

You are so lucky to have history all around you! The Magna Carta is the one contract that has had a huge impact on the whole world. Even our Canadian Constitution has its foundation in the Magna Carta.
