Southwell is a historic market town in Nottinghamshire, England, known primarily for its magnificent Southwell Minster, a cathedral that dates back to the Norman period. The town's history spans over a thousand years, with evidence of Roman settlement in the area. The Minster, featuring unique carved leaves known as 'The Leaves of Southwell,' serves as both the cathedral church of Nottinghamshire and a testament to medieval architectural excellence.
The town maintains its historical character through its well-preserved Georgian townhouses and the former palace of the Archbishops of York. Southwell also has associations with Lord Byron and King Charles I, who spent his last hours of freedom at The Saracen's Head Hotel (formerly The King's Arms) before surrendering to Scottish commissioners in 1646.
The town's cultural heritage is complemented by its traditional market, which has been running since medieval times, and its role in the cultivation of the Bramley apple, which originated in the town in the early 19th century.
