IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Mount Close, NEWARK, NG24 1JQ

On the right is the closed churchyard which has been laid out as gardens.

The tower carries the date 1877, but the schoolroom itself dates from 1826 (architect W M Fowler), and the cross wing to the left of the tower from 1838. Listed Grade II. Redevelopment of the school site has opened up this view of the buildings, although to judge by the foundations in the foreground, regrettably not for much longer. The buildings have been refurbished as part of the redevelopment.

This view is from Mount Close - a wide path linking Appleton Gate and King's Road - through some railings surrounding what is now the Parson's Mount sheltered accommodation complex (built in phases between 2014-2017). This is Grade II-listed Old Schoolroom at the south east end of the former Mount School Primary School site. The original school building - beyond the bell tower and behind the extension in the forefront - was opened in 1826. It was designed by W. M. Fowler. The extension dates from 1838 and the bell tower from 1877. The Old Schoolroom now houses residential accommodation, and possibly administrative offices, associated with the Parson's Mount complex. Immediately behind the photographer lies the Parish Church graveyard.

Helps pick out where a cannon=ball crashed into the church spire of St Mary Magdalene visible above to the right.

The C19th Grade II-listed Old Schoolroom at the south east end of the former Mount School Primary School site. This, the original school building was opened in 1826. It was designed by W. M. Fowler. The extension behind the house dates from 1838 and the bell tower (just visible) from 1877. Part of the new Parson's Mount sheltered housing complex, built in phases between 2014-2017, is visible behind. The Old Schoolroom now houses residential accommodation, and perhaps, administrative offices associated with the Parson's Mount complex. Immediately ahead , though not visible, is part of the boundary wall of the Parish Church's graveyard and Mounts Close, a footpath linking Appleton Gate and King's Road.

This footpath - Mounts Close - links Appleton Gate (150 metres behind the photographer) with King's Road, ahead. On the left is the boundary wall of the Parish Church graveyard, whilst on the right is the Parson's Mount sheltered housing complex, that was built in phases between 2014-2017 on a site that originally hosted the Parish Church's parsonage, and later, the former Mount School.

A variety of houses from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, most with relatively unchanged 19th century shop fronts inserted later. Except for the obviously modern shop with the green awning, all are Listed Grade II.
