The earliest known occupation of the site was in Anglo-Saxon times. In 1055 the town was granted to the bishops of Lincoln, in whose hands it remained until 1549. Bishop Alexander built a castle and bridge over the Trent there (1123-35); the castle was replaced by a stone building about 1173. Much of the town was destroyed in the English Civil Wars, in the mid-17th century.
