A Catholic church stood in Newark during Saxon times, and probably still stood for the first hundred years succeeding the Norman Conquest of 1066, but of this church no fragment whatever remains. About the year 1180 the first work started on the Catholic Church of St Mary Magdalene, Newark.

The current building was consecrated in 1979 and is situated alongside our Catholic primary school which shares its name along with the Community & Partnership Centre which was opened in 2005.

Various aspects of Newark's Catholic history are recounted here. More articles will be added as and when they become available.
