Newnham
Newnham or Newnham on Severn is a town in west Gloucestershire, England. It lies in the Royal Forest of Dean, on the west financial institution of the River Severn, approximately 10 miles south-west of Gloucester and also 3 miles southeast of Cinderford. It gets on the A48 road between Gloucester and also Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales. The village has a parish council. A parish church was established in the 14th century (although there had been a chapel of convenience given that 1018), and in 1366 a new church structure was improved the high ground of the village as the old one dealt with erosion from the river. The brand-new structure has itself been damaged by a gunpowder explosion in 1644 throughout the English Civil War as well as a fire in 1881, yet is still in operation. Due to Newnham's location on the Severn, the Ancient Romans built 3 roads through the place, where they forded the river. The Anglo-Saxons developed a long-term negotiation, the Normans constructed a motte-and-bailey fortification for defence, and in medieval times it became a significant port with links around Great Britain and also Ireland. In 1171, Henry II of England presented an intrusion of Ireland from Newnham. One account asserted that he dove in with 400 ships as well as 5,000 guys, which recommends its importance as a port. For a time Newnham was the most effective Gloucestershire community west of the Severn. Its duty as a port and also trading center declined, however, quickly with the 1827 opening of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. In 1810, a very early effort at a Severn passage began building just southern of Newnham. Work was abandoned after flooding in 1812. The civil parish becomes part of Newnham and Westbury electoral ward. This ward starts in the north at Westbury-on-Severn and after that adheres to the River Severn to Newnham. The total population of the ward taken at the 2011 census was 3,088.
