Abstract:		 As part of an ongoing programme of standing building recording at Newark Castle the roofs of the E and W bedchambers and the turrets of the N range; the roof of the gatehouse and the roof of the E range were archaeologically recorded through measured drawing and textual descriptions of features. The completion of the archaeological survey of the roofs has confirmed the generally excellent survival of late 16th-century roofs at Newark Castle. This survey has uncovered evidence of an earlier previously unrecognised phase of roof surviving over the gatehouse constructed between the late 15th-century and the late 16th-century before the roofs of the N Range and E Range. The N Range and E Range roofs were constructed using a high proportion of timbers reused from a previous roof structure. The roof of the E range contains the only evidence of reused timber not from a roof, that has been pit sawn to create collars in the current arrangement. Though it is likely that the E range roof is late 16th-century, based on its relationship with the masonry, it is possible that this roof belongs to a later phase. During the centuries following the construction of the roofs at the Castle it is likely that there were some small repairs to the roof but it is remarkable that the next phase of work widely visible at Newark Castle does not occur until the 20th-century. It is possible that the Ministry of Works was responsible for the replacement of all the dormer window roofs and the East, NE, NW and W Turret roofs in the early 20th-century however these may have been replaced in the mid to late 20th-century, possibly along with the major structural changes to the E bedchamber Roof and the subdivision of the upper floor of the E Range. Most of the sarking is 20th-century but late 16th-century sarking does survive in the W Turret roof, the Central Turret roof and of in the Central portion of the N Range roof.
