Data from the 'Collectio Rerum Ecclesiasticarum' from the year 1842.

The place: NEWTON UPON OUSE.     Church dedication: PATRON SAINT NOT KNOWN.     Church type: Perpetual Curacy.

Area, 4,590 acres. Bulmer wapentake. -Population, 844 *1; Church-room, 350 *2; Net value, £97. This Church, together with a great part of the town, was given to the Hospital of St. Leonard, in York, by Richard de Kolthorpe, and afterwards appropriated to it, but no ordination of a Vicarage is extant.

Mr. Torre gives the institution of one Rector in 1229.

The patronage and impropriation, after the Dissolution, came to the Bouchiers, from whom it passed to the Earles, and now to the Lords Downe.

Valued in the King's books, where it is called a Vicarage, at £6. 6s. 8d.; in 1707, at £43. 6s.; and in 1818, at £90 per annum.

Augmented by lot in 1819, with £200 from the Parliamentary grant.

The parish is within the diocese of York, but the Court Leet and Court Baron of the Manor of Newton with Benningbrough, exercises, by prescription, the right of granting Probates of Wills and Administrations of persons dying within the Manor, except when the deceased left bona notabilia. The wills, &c. were formerly kept in the Evidence-room at Benningbrough Hall, but, previous to the return in 1829, had been removed to the Steward's Office, in York. The list of those extant commences in 1613.

Inclosure Acts were passed 31st Geo. II. and 59th Geo. III. (1758) and £40 per annum settled upon the Curate.

The glebe house is fit for residence.

The Register Books commence in 1651.
