A project which involved the restoration of Newark’s Old Magnus Buildings in Newark-on-Trent, to restore several buildings, including a Tudor Hall, a Georgian town house, a schoolroom and Victorian and Edwardian outbuildings, which were established as the Magnus School from the 1530’s to 1912.
Restored for use as a museum, these buildings became home to the National Civil War Centre, focusing on the English Civil War, with a range of permanent and temporary exhibition galleries and inspiring learning and community spaces. The site also houses a local history gallery and is a pivotal part of Newark’s Civil War Trail, with strong linkages to other Civil War sites across the country.
