Description: NEWDIGATE HOUSE was erected about 1675 and is, therefore, contemporary with Nottingham Castle as we now know it. The building is in itself a satisfying study of early Renaissance design. It was built for the family of Newdigate, the well-known Lion's paws of whose arms may be seen on a faded hatchment in St. Nicholas' Church (information from www.nottshistory.org.uk). It was, from 1705 to 1711, the residence of Marshall Tallard, taken prisoner at Blenheim in 1704. The poster on the right gives notice of the sale of the building on 18 October 1905.
