Called 'Neutone' when first named independently in 1175,{{sfnp|Page|1927|p=422}} it gained the affix 'Blossevill', referring to the family name of the lords of the manor in the 13th century.{{sfnp|Page|1927|p=422}}

Today, the only service remaining in the village is the Newton Blossomville Church of England First School. The village post office has been closed for many years, as is common for other villages of this size. The nearest railway station, {{rws|Turvey}}, was closed when the Bedford to Northampton Line was closed in the 1960s. For a brief time the new diesel engines were tested along the railway. Some of the line remains but much is unused and overgrown or incorporated into the adjacent fields. Although, a section is used as private access to Newton Lodge Farm in Spring Lane, Clifton Reynes, coming off Clifton Road, to the west of the remains of the Clifton Road railway bridge, where once a track with a railway crossing used to run to "Costerpits Farm" (now a residential barn conversion).
