The Grade II* listed parish church of St Faith in Newton [4] is now deconsecrated. It is largely 14th century, with a 15th-century tower and chancel of 1858 by William Slater. The novelist J. L. Carr fought to prevent the redundancy of the church. The church building was run as Newton Field Centre, an educational centre but closed as unviable in 2018 and has only one trustee. [5] A dovecote, northeast of the church, is a Grade I listed building; it is described as an "outstanding dovecote, exhibiting craftsmanship of the highest quality". [6] It was associated with a mansion of the Tresham family.

In 1607, Newton was the site of the suppression of the Midland Revolt, a peasants' revolt against enclosure; at least 46 rebels were killed. [7] A memorial has been erected by the church where prisoners were held.

Civil parish

On 1 April 1967, Little Oakley was transferred to Newton when the parish of Oakley was abolished. [8] On 1 September 1996, the new parish was renamed to "Newton & Little Oakley". [9] In 1961 the parish of Newton (prior to the merge) had a population of 96. [10]
