Some Newnham On Severn Cottages

The old market town of Newnham sits on the west bank of the Severn at the crown of the large, sweeping, loop in the river; from the river`s bank the land rises steeply to 200ft then much more sharply to 600ft. The High Street with it`s Georgian houses and tree lined centre rises 75 ft along its 550 yard length to the re-built church at the southern end. The Church of St Peter originally stood on a promontory called the Nab by the rivers edge, it was replaced in the 14th century, to its present position, but was largely re-built in 1875 and again in 1881 following a large fire.
