No individual entry found for Newton Blossomville in the Domesday survey. Sheahan (1862) notes an Early English church here "destroyed by the repairs wretchedly executed", with an ancient font in it. The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 4, 1927) notes: "There was a late 11th-century church on the site [...] rebuilt [...] in the 13th century [...] underwent a restoration in 1862 [...] The panelled octagonal font is of the early 15th century." Noted in Pevsner (1960): "Font. Octagonal, Perp[endicular], with two-light blank panelling." The font consists of an octagonal basin decorated with crenellation at the upper rim, and traceried windows on the sides; plain underbowl chamfer; raised on an octagonal pedestal stem with similar traceried windows, and a mouded lower base; plain octagonal plinth. The inner basin well is lead-lined.
