There has been a church in Newton since Saxon times. Originally dedicated to All Saints, it was known as St Mary's around 1848–1890 before reverting to All Saints."All Saints Church, Newton on Ouse", p1, booklet available from the church The current Grade II listed building dates from 1849, although the tower is approximately 900 years old. The church was rebuilt twice in the 19th century, first in 1839 and then again in 1849. Both rebuilds were financed by the Dawnay family who resided at nearby Beningbrough Hall. John Oates was commissioned by the 6th Viscount Downe, William Henry Dawnay, to rebuild the body of the church and this was completed in 1839. Just ten years later Dawnay's daughter, the Hon. Lydia Dawnay, commissioned George Townsend Andrews to rebuild the church and it was at this stage that the magnificent spire, 150 ft from the ground, was added. William Dawnay, 6th Viscount Downe, and his wife are interred in the church with the fine memorial brass that once covered the tomb now fixed to the chancel wall. As of 2015, the Priest-in-Charge was Rev. Malcolm Wainwright.{{cite web|url=http://allsaintsnewton.weebly.com/contacts.html|title=Contacts|accessdate=1 March 2015}}
