Archdeacon Newton - Local Histories

Description
"... As its name suggest the village was once owned by the Archdeacon of Durham. 'Newton' literally means 'New Town'; this suggests that the Archdeacon actually founded and built the village in the medieval period. The remains of some of the medieval structure are still visible. Although used now used as a {farmbuilding D6402}, this structure contains traces of its use as a medieval house. Another farmbuilding nearby was probably once a house, built in the first half of the 16th century. Other remains includes the earthworks of a medieval moated site..." -
