Full Description

Newton Old Hall, now a farmhouse, was 'in a state of great decay' in 1897. It was 'clearly erected during the reign of James I' and is of stone with mullioned windows. (1-2) A more recent authority dates the house to 1690 with the street side being perhaps older. (3)
Named Newton Old Hall on the title deeds and still known as such. A private residence, the building is in excellent condition, having been most carefully restored. A large proportion of the fabric is original. (4)
