Newtown Old Town Hall   Description 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.
