History
In 847 AD, the Saxon King Æthelwulf created an estate for himself that stretched from the River Dart to the River Plym. In this estate there were many manors, one of which is Newton, belonging to Lord Emar. The first time that the name Newton was recorded in the naming of the Church of Newton in the Geld Roll of 1084.
The Domesday Book listed Newton in 1086 as part of the holdings of the Valletorts of Trematon, across the Tamar, who handed it to the Ferrers family. Ralph Ferrers was established at Newton in 1160 and he is the one who has given the village the family name "Ferrers".
There were sixteen villeins listed in the manor in the Domesday Book, the farmsteads of which are still recognizable today. By 1200 most of the boundaries and general landscape patterns had been established and they remained largely untouched until the end of the 19th century. One of these successful farmers, Pugh of Puslinch (Pugh's Land) acquired a farm adjacent to the manor, and his descendants expanded the estate until Puslinch was large enough to become a sub-manor, thereby establishing two manors within the parish.[http://www.newtonnoss.co.uk/history.asp http://www.newtonnoss.co.uk/history.asp] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110231608/http://www.newtonnoss.co.uk/history.asp |date=2013-11-10 }}.
