27 AND 28, MARKET PLACE (See details for further address information)

Nos. 27 and 28 Market Place, located in Newark on Trent, is a house that has been converted into offices and shops. It dates back to around 1730, with later alterations from the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings and features a hipped slate roof, which has two ridge stacks and a single rear wall stack. It has a plinth, an incomplete first-floor band, a second-floor band, and deeply coved eaves.

The first and second floors are adorned with windows that have keystones, and the building stands three storeys high with attics. The front facade has a five-window range of segment-headed 12-pane sashes, above which are five similar flat-headed sashes. At the top, there are two pedimented dormers featuring 2-light casements.

The ground floor boasts an elaborate central stone doorcase with a moulded segmental pediment supported by double moulded scroll brackets, leading to a seven-panel door with a bull's eye window in the tympanum. To the left, there are two restored late 19th-century shopfronts that have undergone early and late 20th-century alterations. To the right, there is a late 19th-century corner shopfront with panelled pilasters and scroll brackets on the fascia, which continues around the right return.

The right return has four windows that match the front's fenestration, along with a single dormer. The left windows on each floor are blank. The ground floor features a 19th-century shopfront to the left and two smaller shopfronts to the right, with the right one remodelled in the late 20th century, each having a single window and a recessed glazed door.

Inside, there is an 18th-century dogleg stair with a moulded handrail. Notably, this building was the site of the printing press where Lord Byron's first work, "Hours of Idleness," was produced in 1806.
