Hold on to history
NEARLY 130 years ago Victorian philanthropist Sir William Gilstrap gave Newark its first free public library — the Gilstrap Centre. It has been in public use ever since.

For many years it was what Sir William had intended, a public library.

Today, it is used for the Castle And Conflict exhibition, temporary exhibition space for various groups, it is home to the Romanesque arch that was believed to have once stood at the entrance to the castle chapel, and as Newark’s tourist information centre.

Standing at the edge of the castle grounds, it is the ideal spot for the tourist information as the natural point to which most tourists gravitate.
