No entry found for Newton North in the Domesday survey. A Norman font in this church is reported in the RCAHMW (Pembroke, 1925). An entry by J. Wiles dated 20 March 2002 in the COFLEIN database of the RCAHMW [http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/300429/details/NEWTON+NORTH+CHURCH/] [accessed 8 December 2010] reads: "The former parish church of Newton North, comprising a 12th-13th century nave and a 13th-14th century nave, is now a roofless ruin." The entry for this church in British Listed Buildings [https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300006088-newton-north-church-martletwy] [accessed 20 August 2019] notes: "The Chancel arch may be C12, and the W doorway is probably C14. The church was redundant in the C19; it is marked on the 1887 map as 'remains of ...'. Now very much overgrown and derelict, although the tower and stairs survive to parapet level. [...] Interior devoid of all fittings. The building having long been roofless, the floor is buried and inaccessible. [...] The S transept was perhaps only a tomb-recess. There is a recess for a stoup in the E side. [...] There are no monuments or font and no glazing. [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of this font; it might still be within the ruins].
