[1] Jonathan Newey was educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, matriculating 25 July 1655 and awarded his BA on 12 February 1659.
He was licensed as a preacher in the Diocese of Coventry and Lichfield (10 December 1663) and appointed to the curacy of Kinver on 4 August 1665 on the nomination of twenty parishioners led by William Talbot and after the ejection of Richard Morton.
His appointment to Kinver came with the restoration of the monarchy and the ejection of puritan ministers from Church of England parishes.
When Revd Joseph Eccleshall moved to Kinver, having been forced by the Oxford Act to leave his parish of Sedgeley, Eccleshall preached to his followers in private then accompanied them to Kinver church “to hear Mr Jonathan Newey,’ a worthy man’”.
During Duncalf’s last illness, he was visited by several ministers, including Jonathan Newey who contributed to a book about this case.
[9] Jonathan and Mary Newey presented a large silver chalice to Kinver church engraved with "J.N.M.".
