There is an entry for this Newton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/NZ5613/newton/] [accessed 19 December 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. There is an entry for Ingleby [Arncliffe] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/NZ4400/ingleby-arncliffe/] [accesed 14 August 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Norman period ornamented with arcade work in this church. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "The church of Newton, from the 12th to the 18th century described as a chapel or free chapel, seems to have been originally dependent on the church of Great Ayton, with which, in the reign of Henry I [r. 1100-1135] [...] The nave only is ancient, and belongs to an aisleless 12th-century structure, the chancel of which was rebuilt in 1857. The tower was added in 1901, in which year the church was restored [...] The semicircular chancel arch is of 12th-century date [...] The south doorway is apparently a modern reproduction or restoration of the 12th-century opening [...] built into the south side of the tower is an old stone found in 1827, when the building underwent some repairs and a new floor was laid, on which are carved two animals, one a dragon, apparently attacking each other. [...] The font was brought here from Ingleby Arncliffe, and is of 12th-century date. It consists of a tubshaped bowl, ornamented all round with interlacing arches and a band of cable moulding above. It is 30 in. in diameter by 26 in. in height and stands on a modern base. The font has at some period been shorn down and spoilt by the arcading having been cut flat." In Morris (1931). Noted in Pevsner (1985): "Font. Norman, tub-shaped, with intersecting arcading, complete with imposts. It comes from Ingleby Arncliffe church." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: NZ5692413255] notes: "Church, C12, on earlier foundation (north side), with chancel of 1857, west tower of 1901 [...] Broad, squat 3-stage tower, with embattled parapet, angle buttresses and Anglo-Saxon carved corner stone in south side of vice. [...] Norman circular drum-shaped font, the sides of which have continuous intersecting blind arcading and imposts and cable moulding at rim."
