A town hall with no
town. Newtown is now a small tranquil country village on the
edge of a marshland nature reserve with woodland and harbour
walks.
The present Town Hall was built in 1699 on the
foundations of an earlier building. The stone walls and windows
of the basement formed part of the previous building
The basement contains an exhibition about the anonymous
1930s 'Ferguson's Gang', renowned for their extraordinary gifts
of sackfuls of cash to the National
Trust, in order to renovate properties that otherwise might not
have survived. National Trust
