Newton-le-Willows / Neuton / Neweton / Newton in Makerfield

There are two entries for Newton [-le-Willows] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SJ5995/newton-le-willows/] [accessed 13 August 2019], one of which reports a church and "1.0 church lands" in it. Two churches preceded the present one at Newton-le-Willows, the first of which was a chapel said to date from the mid-13th century [1242]; after the Civil War the chapel was reported in ruins and a new one built in 1682 at a nearby site; the chapel became a parish church in 1844; re-built in two stages in the late-19th century and in the early 20th [source: 'St Peter’s Church – A Historical Summary’, Lynton J.

[NB: we have no information on the medieval font; it may have been destroyed in the fire that burned the chapel]
