History	At the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 Newton was one of the manors of Henry de Ferrers. His descendant, Robert de Ferrers gave it to the Abbey of Comberere in Cheshire. On the dissolution of the Monasteries it was granted by King Henry VIII to George Cotton, from whose family it passed to the Bentley family. A moiety of it was forfeited to the Crown by the attainder of Edward Bentley in 1586 and afterwards granted by Queen Elizabeth I to Sir Michael Stanhope. The other moiety had previously been sold to the Beresfords, who eventually bought the previously forfeited moiety from Sir Michael Stanhope’s son-in-law, Sir William Withipole. The whole manor subsequently remained with the Beresfords until the death of Richard Beresford in 1790, when it was sold in severalties, with Thomas Evans being the principal purchaser. In c.1885 Lod Hindlipp is said to have purchased the manor.
