No entry found for this Newham in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The earliest work in the church dates from the first quarter of the 12th century, and the existing nave and chancel are upon the original foundations and contain much of the walling of that time; but an extensive restoration of the church in 1847–8 by the then Lord Dorchester has destroyed all further evidence of the history of the building. [...] All the fittings, including the plain octagonal font, are modern." [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church]
