Newton, South Cambridgeshire

Newton is a civil parish and small village in Cambridgeshire, England.[3] In 970 the land around Newton and Hauxton was passed to King Edgar who offered them to Bishop Aethelwold for the new Abbey at Ely.[3] At the time of the Domesday Book the lands in modern Newton fell under the manor at Hauxton and both villages remained the property of Ely Abbey until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539.The village of Newton itself built up around the intersection of the five roads from Harston, Hauxton, Whittlesford, Thriplow and Foxton.The oldest parts of the present building date from the early 13th century, including its octagonal font.
