Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "Now called Trowse with Newton, the latter being a hamlet to the former, though originally it was the contrary; Newton being the principal part or manor, and Trowse an appendage to it [...] There never was a parish church at Newton, but the inhabitants always went to Trowse [...] The church is 27 yards long, and 8 broad; it hath a square tower about 16 yards high, in which are three bells; the church and chancel are both leaded; there is also a south porch; and the vicarage-house and yards join to the south side of the churchyard. [...] St. Andrew the Apostle (to whom the church is dedicated) [...] The church was appropriated to Norwich Prior and monks in 1205, by John de Grey Bishop of Norwich". The present font is described in Pevsner & Wilson (1997): "C15. Octagonal. Four lions against the stem; four lions and four demi-figures of angels holding shields (emblem of the Trinity and Instruments of the Passion, three crowns, three chalices) against the bowl." Noted and illustrated in Knott (2012): "This is one of the city's best 15th Century fonts, sadly defaced but replete with detail. Lions alternate with angels holding shields, while around the base clerical figures sit among the evangelistic symbols." [NB: we have no information on the font of the original pre-1205 church here].
