Latest reviews | Events in Newnham on Severn | 10 Places to Stay

The old market town of Newnham sits on the west bank of the Severn at the crown of the large, sweeping, loop in the river; from the river`s bank the land rises steeply to 200ft then much more sharply to 600ft. The High Street with it`s Georgian houses and tree lined centre rises 75 ft along its 550 yard length to the re-built church at the southern end. The Church of St Peter originally stood on a promontory called the Nab by the rivers edge, it was replaced in the 14th century, to its present position, but was largely re-built in 1875 and again in 1881 following a large fire. Opposite the church are the remains of a castle probably a Norman Motte & Bailey type - the bank and ditch are Civil War additions. The harbour developed along the Pills (creeks) trading timber, oak bark - for tanning and coal; ship building was also carried out with, in the 15th century, vessels of 500 tones being built. It was from Newnham in 1171 that King Henry II sailed from on his expedition to Ireland. A ferry, first recorded in 1258, crossed to the Arlingham side it continued to run, although somewhat spasmodically, until just after the Second World War. In the 19th century several schemes for bridges or tunnels were put forward but all came to naught. Difficulties in navigating the Severn at Newnham saw a loss of some traffic to Gatcombe, a new quay built in 1755 by local merchant Robert Pyrke saw a revival with goods from as far as Birmingham being exported, but the opening of the Gloucester & Berkeley Canal saw the loss of more trade. The quay continued in use until the early 20th century. Steeped in history, with some fine buildings, flanked by the Severn on one side and the Forest of Dean on the other makes Newnham a desirable place to visit,
