Southwell
a town of Nottinghamshire, England, since 1884 a cathedral city, on the ancient Ermine street, 7 miles W. by S. of Newark. A church was founded here by Paulinus about 630; but the stately cruciform minster, which with its three towers resembles York on a smaller scale, is wholly of post-Conquest date. In the old "Saracen's Head" Charles I. surrendered to the Scotch commissioners (1646); Byron's mother occupied Burgage Manor House (1804-1807); and there are picturesque ruins of the palace of the Archbishops of York. Pop. about 4,000.
