Summary

A building dating from the C18, with ground floor now converted into four retail units in C20, with assumed commercial space above.

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 and 1133. 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, with a number of handsome terraced Georgian buildings evident 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 splendid new Town Hall (1773) by John Carr. By 1801 Newark had a population of 6,730 and was Nottinghamshire’s second town.

51 and 53 Stodman Street would originally have been built as two dwellings in the late C18, with alterations made during the C19 and C20. The overall form of the building appears to have changed little since construction, with the only substantive alterations appearing to be a reconfigured ground-floor façade as part of the conversion into four shop units

Details

PLAN: the buildings are linear on plan with the principal facade facing north-east.

EXTERIOR: the principal facade is over five bays and four storeys with four shop units on the ground floor. To the west is an infilled passageway in painted brick with a slim sash window. The shopfronts are, to the east a late C20 metal and plastic shopfront with recessed double-gazed door to east and two single pane windows to the west under a continuous fascia and above stallrisers. To the west, the shopfront is a late C19 wooden shopfront with dentillated cornice (partially hidden by timber signage), a central recessed glazed door with a single pane window to the west and a three-light window to the west over stallrisers. The principal elevation at first floor has a five-window range, number 51 contains two two-over-two sash windows, a blocked window and a smaller two-over-two window in the centre.
