Brief history Sconce and Devon Park
By FRIENDS OF SCONCE AND DEVON PARK
Sconce and Devon Park is the largest open space in Newark. The Queen's Sconce was an important defensive structure during the Civil War.
The Park has been home to Newark Golf Club, Army and prisoner of war camps, Sunday School Treats, Newark Town Football Club and lots of wildlife.
A Heritage Lottery Grant has meant that there is a circular walk, with access to the Sconce by everyone, a Ranger and a Cafe.
