Summary

A late-C19 house, now restaurant.

History

Newark appears as Newerche in the 1086 Domesday Book. It’s original name Niweweorche (meaning 'New work') is likely associated with the meaning "New fort". The site of Newark Castle was founded by Robert Bloet, Bishop of Lincoln in 1073 and rebuilt in stone from 1123-33. A bridge over the Trent was built under charter from Henry I at a similar time. In the C15 and C16, Newark became a prosperous market town centred on the wool and cloth trade and characterised by a dense street pattern surrounding the market square. It was incorporated by the Crown in 1549. Significant development occurred during the C18 in response to growing trade along the Great North Road and the town has a number of terraced buildings from this time. In 1775 a new bridge over the River Trent was constructed, it was further improved in 1848 and forms the current ‘Trent Bridge’. The Market Place was rebuilt in the C18 with coaching inns, the houses of leading citizens and the new Town Hall of 1773 (Grade I) by John Carr of York (1723-1807). By 1801 Newark had a population of 6,730 and was Nottinghamshire’s second town.

It is understood that 45 Stodman Street was originally a house. Its primary alterations are rear extensions and the late-C20 shopfront.

Details

A late-C19 house, now restaurant.

MATERIALS: red brick.

PLAN: rectangular with shorter ends to east and west and front elevation facing north to Stodman Street. Extensions to the rear.

EXTERIOR: the building is of three storeys with a pitched roof and an external stack to its west gable. A stretcher bond brick ground floor shopfront was inserted in 1989. This has three large vertical windows flanked to the left by a glazed door and to the right by a solid timber door. A horizontal strip of timber cladding spans the building above the frieze of the shopfront. The first and second floors are red-brick in Flemish bond. The first floor has two recessed arches within pilasters. Each arch has springing stones and a keystone in limestone and houses a pair of single-pane horned sash windows which interrupt two horizontal limestone bands. The paired windows are separated by a stone mullion and share a stone lintel and cill.

At second floor level are two pairs of single-pane sashes with chamfered stone mullions and stepped limestone surrounds whose cills extend into a decorative limestone band which spans the whole front of the building. There is a pointed brick detail at eaves level. The building has a two-storey extension to the rear which has a single gable stack.
