History

Newnham Murren is an ancient parish, recorded in Domesday Book as Niweham. The Church of England parish church of St Mary was built in the 12th century.

Newnham Murren was a strip parish: a thin strip of land extending into the Chiltern Hills including part of Stoke Row.

Newnham Murren was made a civil parish in the 19th century, but in 1932 the civil parish was absorbed into the new civil parish of Crowmarsh.
