Originally Newton was part of Pickering Parish and during one period had three places of worship
As buildings fell into disrepair, and were condemned, work on the present Church St John's was started in 1866. The present Church was consecrated in 1870,
St Johns has altered very little over the years and is a simple, peaceful, typical mid Victorian country Church. The Church is set back but beautifully visible from the road, and is surrounded by the original grave yard.
There are excellent acoustics in the church, enhanced by a delightful 1894 'Harrison and Harrison' Organ
The Church also hosts a very fine, and unusual clock with interesting workings visible and accessible for all to see.
You are very welcome to visit, at any time, and who knows, you may even find one or two famous mice!
