There is an entry for this Newbold [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SK6831/newbold/] [accessed 12 January 2015], and it mentions both a priest and a church in it; the place, which was in the lordship of King William, is reported as having thirty households at the time, and rated by Domesday-time standards as "quite large", its tax assessment of "3 geld units", as "medium". Newbold is mentioned in Thoroton's History of Nottinghamshire (vol. 1, 1797: 161) in the context of Coleston-Basset [now Colston Bassett] and with reference to the entry in Domesday, but was by that time a memory. Newbold is listed in Our Nottinghamshire [www.ournottinghamshire.org.uk/category_id__417.aspx] [accessed 12 January 2015] as a disappeared village of this county.
