Southwell

About

Southwell ward covers the historic market town of Southwell and its surrounding rural parishes. The area is centred on the Minster, a cathedral with origins in the Saxon era, which dominates the town's skyline. The town layout follows a traditional pattern with a market square and streets containing independent shops and local services. Surrounding farmland and villages like Farnsfield and Bleasby contribute to a primarily agricultural economy.

A specific feature is the presence of the Bramley apple, first cultivated here in the 19th century. The workhouse, a prototype for the national system, is now a museum. The River Greet flows through the area, and the Southwell Trail connects key landmarks. Governance involves a town council, with the ward electing members to the district authority. The local economy includes tourism related to these historic assets alongside farming and smaller businesses.
