	Medieval Newtown, Isle of Wight
		Newtown was established in the 13th century as a potential centre of trade and shipping for the Isle of Wight.
		Newtown's archaeological significance lies in the fact that it is a rare example of a medieval new town which failed economically, so that it has not been built over and redeveloped, and therefore much of the original ground plan survives.
		Newtown represents a rare opportunity to study one of the Bishop of Winchester's new towns in its entirety.
