Southwell is a town in Nottinghamshire, England, best known as the site of Southwell Minster, the seat of the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham, the Church of England diocese that covers Nottinghamshire. Its population is about 6,900, being measured as 7,297 at the 2011 Census.
The origin of Southwell's name is not clear, but there a number of locations which claim to be the original well, most notably at GR SK708535 where a plaque has been placed; in the Admiral Rodney public house; one on the south side of the minster which was called Lady Well in the 19th century; and one by the cloisters called Holy Well. Norwell approximately eight miles northwest may support the notion of there being south and north wells in the area. The town lies on the River Greet, approximately 14 miles (22 km) northeast of Nottingham.
In addition to the Minster (the cathedral and parish church of St Mary of Southwell), there are a number of other historic buildings in the town, notably the impressive prebendal houses along Church Street and Westgate, and the town's Methodist church has the unusual feature of an old right-of-way running underneath it, necessitating a larger upstairs than downstairs seating capacity. The old workhouse, built in 1824, was the prototype for many others around the country. It is now owned by the National Trust and recreates the same appearance and conditions as it did in the 19th century.
Southwell has a leisure centre run by a local trust, with trustees from the local community, although the district council also provides very limited support. The town is accessed from Newark and Nottingham by the A612,and from north Nottingham and villages to the west by the B6386. The A617 primary route passes 2 miles to the north of the town in Hockerton, and the A1 and A46 trunk routes are both 7 miles away in Newark. The railway station at the nearby village of Fiskerton has had a small car park built in recent years to cater for Southwell commuters. Southwell is also served by Nottingham City Transport's rural Pathfinder 100 service to Nottingham and Stagecoach East Midlands (Mansfield) service to Mansfield and Newark. There are other infrequent services to nearby villages.

Southwell 2018
A pit-stop visit to Southwell and the surrounding area.
Southwell, pronounced 'Suth-ull' is a town in Nottinghamshire, England, the site of Southwell Minster, the cathedral of the Anglican Diocese.
It was here that the well-known Bramley cooking apple was first seeded by Mary Ann Brailsford in 1809. A local nurseryman Henry Merryweather, saw its potential and cultivated it from cuttings. The apple is now used across the cookery world, and is renowned for its acidic taste and the fact that it cooks to a smooth puree.
In 1603, James VI of Scotland passed through Southwell on his way to London to be crowned King James I.
During the English Civil War, King Charles I spent his last night as a free man in May 1646 in the Saracen's Head, before surrendering to the Scottish Army stationed at nearby Kelham.
