@tnorthernway There was probably a grammar school associated with the Minster School in nearby Southwell from the 13th century, but nothing named of that date in Newark.

@NewarkCT Thank you so much. That’s why we thought it might be the Magdalene school but haven’t yet traced it back as far as our records. A ‘song school’ assoc. with the church would make sense in early 14th century.

A little bit of history for @NewarkCT . Was the school in this thread the Magdalene school???

Are you interested in Newark’s history? Fill in this quick survey to support our ambition to digitise historic photos of Newark! forms.office.com/r/deTt2iqD4u Working with @NewarkCT, we want to put 5,000 historic pictures of the town online so everyone can see and enjoy them.

@advertisergroup @NSDCouncil Bit pedantic, but the Fernwood tower was never a water tower. It was the central tower of a power house, a small localised power station, built to generate power for the old hospital.

A risky place to play #Newark #FernwoodWaterTower @NSDCouncil buff.ly/3UdA97T

Would you sign a petition against this redevelopment idea? #Newark #LilleyandStone buff.ly/3WkWGRj

Finally, a future for this landmark site... #Newark #LilleyandStone buff.ly/3SXrh5F

@HayleyFern4 Amazing drawings! Don’t suppose you fancy doing Nottinghamshire next year?

Overwhelmed by the recent surge of followers and comments- Thank you! I started this last year but only went 'public' last month. I had no idea people would be interested! I didn't really get Twitter! I'm a teacher on my summer hols and I really love churches ⛪ #romans12v6 🙏

It destroyed a large area of grassland around the civil war earthen defence 🔥 #Newark @nottsfire buff.ly/3PpVAPO
