No idividual entry found for this Newton in the Domesday survey. Lewis (1848) notes: "The former chapel, dedicated to All Saints, and built prior to 1650, fell down on the 2nd of May, 1808", and reports the replacement church here as modern, consecrated in 1846. The Victoria County History (Lancaster, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The chapel, now A[ll] S[aints'] C[hurch], was built on the heath perhaps not long before the Reformation. [...] In the Visitation list of 1563 Ralph Ridde appeared as curate of Newton. [...] There was no endowment, and the minister in 1610 was paid by voluntary offerings. [...] The Parliamentary Surveyors in 1650 recommended that it be made a parish church".
