"Clinton Arms" Hotel known as the "Cardinals Hat" in the 14th and 15th centuries and as The Kings Arms during the 16th to early 19th centuries. Lord Byron stayed in this building during 1806 and 1807 when two volumes of his poems were being printed in Newark. W. E. Gladstone addressed Newark electors from a window in this hotel when returned as Conservative MP in 1832. An important posting inn during coaching days.
