Theatre and 2 shops. Built 1920 for Miss Emily Blagg. (1)

The Palace Theatre was built after WWI, on a site that had been occupied by the Chantry House from the 14th c. onwards. P.3 (2)
The Chantry House was bought in 1918 by local businesswoman Emily Blagg, who had it demolished in 1919 and had the Palace Theatre built on the site, re-using much of the 17th c. building material from the Chantry House. A major renovation took place in 1953, and it became a bingo hall in 1968. In the 1970s the Newark and Sherwood Distric Council took it over and converted it to a theatre. The theatre was Grade II listed in 1992. P. 5 (2)
The theatre building is of brick with an ornate stone and stucco front and a hipped mansard roof of slate and artificial slate; its frontage is ornamented by round towers with cupolas and onion domes. P. 4 (2)
