The grade II* listed former parish church of St Faith in Newton is now an educational centre; the novelist J.L. Carr fought to prevent the redundancy of the church.
In 1607, Newton was the site of the suppression of a peasants' revolt against enclosure; at least 46 rebels were killed. A memorial to the revolt has been erected by the church where prisoners were held.
