Tudor Fireplace
Down in the basement of Newark House, next to the kitchen, was the servants social room in which this Tudor fireplace is set into a 6 feet thick wall with its arch firmly stapled to hold it in position; the fireback is dated 1634.
The floor is of the original flagstones from when the house was first built. To the left of the fireplace is a door opening to the steps leading down into the cellar, where there is the well which supplied the water for the house.
