Our Tribute at Memorial to the Fallen not just on Remembrance Day Newark Cemetery, Nottinghamshire
Memorial to Remember The Air Bridge of 1944 over Poland
In June 1943, Władysław Sikorski went to the Middle East to inspect the Polish units. On 4 July, during his return trip, his plane crashed over the Straits of Gibraltar a few minutes after take-off. His daughter Zofia, Chief of Staff General Klimecki, an English liaison officer and all the other passengers on board died with him. Only the Czech pilot survived the crash.
General Sikorski was buried in the Polish pilots’ cemetery in Newark, Great Britain. On 17 September 1993, his ashes were brought to Poland and laid to rest in Wawel Cathedral, the burial place for the most distinguished men and women of Poland.

Looking over at Cremated Remains at Newark Cemetery, we will Remember them
These being the darkest days during the 2nd World war when 29 men and 12 women died with another 165 that were injured. When 10 bombs were dropped with 5 exploded on that Friday the 7th March 1941. The Battle of Britain was not just won by our brave Airmen. Many thanks to the people around Newark that worked at Ransome & Marles Ball Bearings Factory which provided components to all three Armed Forces. They needed parts for our Spitfires, Hurricanes, Lancaster bombers and many other Aircrafts that played such a major part during the 2nd World war. These brave people were a great help to win the war thanks to the employees of R&M Factory that ensured our Aircrafts got the Ball Bearings and parts on time, a personal tribute.
These Website as a fitting tribute to the 41 killed and 165 injured at Ransome and Marles plant in memory during the bombing. These are my own views and do not represent Newark Town Council. It has been built as a means of further promoting our cemetery and encouraging interested people to join the tribute. Our courageous heroes that will live on in our memories with a Memorial that will be put in place at Newark Parish Church in time for the 70th Anniversary on 7th March 1941. These Aircrafts that played such a major part during the 2nd World war, thanks to the brave people that were a great help to win the war thanks also to the employees of R&M Factory that ensured our Aircrafts got the Ball Bearings and parts on time.
I have put these Website site together as a fitting tribute to the 41 killed and 165 injured at Ransome and Marles plant in memory during the bombing. I am happy to say a Memorial will be put in place at Newark Parish Church in time for the 70th Anniversary on 7th March 1941. These are my own views and do not represent Newark Town Council or Friends of Newark Cemetery. It has been built as a means of further promoting our cemetery and encouraging interested people to join the tribute. Our courageous heroes that will live on in our memories.

The chapel was built in 1856 when the cemetery opened but has not been used for more than 30 years. The east wing is to be used as an interpretation centre thanks to a £50,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Work on the fabric of the building is finished and display boards containing information about the cemetery, as well as screens and a table and benches will be installed later this year. These once beautiful building has been preserve.
Friends of Newark Cemetery Group will run the centre.The group plans displays on the history of the cemetery, famous people buried in the 20-acre site, and the Polish War Graves section.The Friends work to help improve the services and facilities of the cemetery and promote our local cemetery.
The aim of the Friends is to assist the Town Council with services and functions over and above what the Council can normally provide. Past projects have included helping members of the public, through trained bereavement councillors, the publishing of a book of poems and passages, called “The Comfort book”, assisting with tracing family graves, placing flowers on the Memorial to the Fallen, and providing support and information to enable the Chapel to be converted in to the Cemetery Interpretation Centre. It is hoped that the Centre itself will be manned, at least some of the time by the Friends, enabling visitors to the Cemetery to be able to read and perhaps understand a little more about the Cemetery, its history, the customs associated with bereavement, the famous people buried there and the plants and animals that can be found there.
Laurence Goff – Friends of Newark Cemetery Chairman until 30th March 2011, when we will hold our AGM to be held at Newark town hall in the Pickin room, arrival at 5:30pm and will start at 6pm.
All welcome

At British Commonwealth and Polish War Grave since 2nd World War. Polish forces around the world By the end of the Second World War there were nearly a quarter of a million Poles in the Polish Armed Forces serving under British command. Today the Commission cares for the graves of nearly 4,500 Polish servicemen and women in 35 countries around the world. The highest concentration of commemorations can be found in the United Kingdom, where over 2,100 Poles are commemorated from Scotland to Cornwall in 244 different locations. In particular, nearly 400 casualties are commemorated in Newark-upon-Trent. There were a number of RAF stations within a few miles of Newark from which several Polish squadrons operated, and a special plot on the eastern side Newark-upon-Trent Cemetery was set aside for RAF burials. The plot includes a memorial cross to the Polish airmen buried here which was unveiled in 1941 by President Raczkiewicz, ex-President of the Polish Republic and head of the war-time Polish Government in London, supported by General Wladyslaw Sikorski, Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Forces and war time Polish Prime Minister. Both men subsequently died and were buried at the foot of the Polish Memorial, until their remains were Newark-upon-Trent Cemetery repatriated back to Poland on the 17th September 1993.

Thomas Earp lived amongst his Friends in Newark and Died 100 years ago 17th February 1910 Buried around his Friends in Newark Cemetery. His picture also hangs in Newark town hall chamber. Former Liberal member UK Parliament constituency {Newark} from January 31, 1874 – November 24, 1885. Newark town Mayor three times 1869, 1891 and 1892.
Laurence Goff
Following the Burial Act of the early 1830’s the Cemetery Committee of Newark Town Council began the search for a piece of land for a cemetery by printing & distributing 200 Handbills “Wanted, in the neighbourhood of Newark, about 5 acres of land suitable for a burial ground.” Eventually 9 acres of land were purchased from the Earl of Winchlesea and the Committee set up an open competition and invited designs in the forms of drawings and specifications for “roads & paths and laying out and planting a new burial ground containing 6.5 acres, enclosing the ground, building a lodge with entrance gates, building two chapels either separate or attached, with complete fitting and accommodation for not fewer than 50 persons, the total cost not to exceed the sum of £2000. The design incorporated the retention of the Haw – Haw, which was a ditch with one side being retaining wall, used to divide the land without defacing the landscape. This ensured that livestock did not encroach upon the residential environs of the lodge.
The design chosen was by Messers Bellamy & Hardy, Architects of Lincoln and their design was constructed in 1856 by the General Contractor, Mr Whitworth of Newark.
The first stone was laid on 23rd February of 1856
At 10 o’clock the members of the Corporation and Burial Board, ministers of religion and other officials assembled at the Town Hall and formed a procession, the order being, 12 scholars of the Grammar School, Rev J G Bussell (Vicar), Rev T Smith, Curate of Hawton, Rev J Smith, Curate of St Mary’s, Rev J W K Disney, Incumbent of Christ Church, four Dissenting Minister, the Chief Constable, Waterton, with the battle-axe, the Police, two Mace-bearers, the Mayor H. Sutton Esq. and J. Branston Esq, the Members of the Burial Board, Members of the Corporation, W. Newton Esq, Clerk to the Board and Town Crier. The procession crossed the Market Place and went by Bridge Street, Carter Gate and Beaumond Street to the Cemetery Site. The Vicar said suitable prayers, speeches were made and the stone laid by Joseph Branston. The first burial in the Cemetery was that of Charles John Nicholson, son of William Newzam Nicholson, Ironmonger of Market Place, Newark on 30th October 1856.
There have now been 36,000 burials within the cemetery with some Common Graves from the previous two centuries having up to 5 burials in each plot. The Cemetery was not just conceived and built as a memorial and resting place but also as a park for the people of Newark. It has been extended several times since its opening over 150 years ago and now extends to over 15 acres.
It is also important internationally as it contains a War Graves Cemetery, which includes graves of many Polish airmen, and was the historical burial place of General Sikorski (the wartime leader of Poland) whose body has now been returned to Poland, but whose memorial remains. There is also a Memorial to the Fallen of Newark commemorating, by name, those local military personnel who lost their lives in conflict since 1914. A further monument to war time confilict is the Air Bridge Monument which remembers the aircrew who died, during world war two, supporting the popular uprising in Warsaw in 1944. The Cemetery currently has both areas for burials and a Garden of Remembrance for cremated remains.

The Friends of Newark Cemetery start their New Year in a new venue The Friends of Newark Cemetery will hold their future meetings of 2010 in London Road Cemetery’s freshly refurbished Chapel. This is the eastern Chapel from the main drive from London Road on the left. £50,000 has been spent on bringing the neglected Chapel back into proper use and this is the first time members will have the chance to inspect the work for themselves. The meeting is open to anyone, members or non members, who have an interest in the Cemetery. That interest may be through the history of the Town and Cemetery, the sites flora, fauna and wildlife, because you find the Cemetery a nice place to walk, because you have a loved one there, or for many other reasons. The aim of the Friends is to assist the Town Council with services and functions over and above what the Council can normally provide. Past projects have included helping members of the public, through trained bereavement councillors, the publishing of a book of poems and passages, called “The Comfort book”, assisting with tracing family graves, placing flowers on the Memorial to the Fallen, and providing support and information to enable the Chapel to be converted in to the Cemetery Interpretation Centre. It is hoped that the Centre itself will be manned, at least some of the time by the Friends, enabling visitors to the Cemetery to be able to read and perhaps understand a little more about the Cemetery, its history, the customs associated with bereavement, the famous people buried there and the plants and animals that can be found there.

CORNELIUS BROWN Former History of Newark writer, The Advertiser Editor for 33 years CORNELIUS BROWN was born at Lowdham, Nottinghamshire, on March 5th, 1852. He chose the profession of journalism, and early in life entered the office of The Nottingham Daily Guardian. Here he came under the influence of men well known in the world of letters, and in daily contact with such literary mentors and friends, he possessed undoubted advantages, which his studious and
observant nature enabled him to turn to good account. Antiquarian and historical subjects possessed an attraction for him, and he started in the Guardian a column of “Notes and Queries,” which he subsequently edited under the happy alliterative title, “Notes about Notts.” In 1874 Mr. Brown was appointed Editor of The Newark Advertiser, which he conducted up to the time of his death with marked ability and erudition. Of his literary work, besides special articles contributed to various journals, the following were issued in book form “Notes about Notts.” (1874), “The Annals of Newark” (1879), “The Worthies of Notts.” (1882), “An Appreciative Life of the Earl of Beaconsfield,”
“True Stories of the Reign of Queen Victoria” (1886), “A History of Nottinghamshire” (1891), and “A History of Newark” in two volumes (1905 and 1907). This last self-imposed task occupied all his spare time and energy for fifteen long years, and in his own words:

Hallo Laurence, just saw your film on youtube about Newark Cemy. My name is Doeke Oostra from the Netherlands.
I am very interested in war graves of any nation and have actually written a book on the subject. In Dutch I’m afraid but we are trying to get an English edition published. I am currently working on a gazetteer of all Polish war graves of WW2 in NW Europe listing all relevant information on each Polish soldier, sailor and airman buried here that I can get hold of. Have just copied the registers of Polish servicemen and women in Scottish cemeteries from a website listing these. No such information is readily available on those in the rest of Britain such as Newark, Northwood, Morpeth and many of the smaller gravesites. Some I do have, like Brookwood, Baginton, Hunstanton and Ormskirk, and a few dozen of the smaller sites. Could you enlighten me please? In passing, try http://www.polishwargraves.nl which is a very informative site set up and maintained by my good friend Jos van Alphen. It is good to see you so involved with war graves in general and the Polish ones in particular. Many thanks. Cheers, Doeke

At the library last week researching Thomas Earp I discovered there is no material available except from newspaper of the time. Also, due to the “cuts” Tim Warner only works there on odd days. All the material that used to be at the Appletongate museum has been moved to the new Resources Centre on the industrial estate. This is not convenient for elderly researchers, and in any case you have to ring up for an appointment. It seems as if “they” are eradicating the history of Newark. Thank you for your website.
