[3] The Grade II* listed parish church of St Faith in Newton[4] is now deconsecrated.

It is largely 14th century, with a 15th-century tower and chancel of 1858 by William Slater.

The novelist J. L. Carr fought to prevent the redundancy of the church.

The church building was run as Newton Field Centre, an educational centre primarily concerned with the promotion of environmental understanding through field studies, but closed in 2018.

The Newton-in-the-Willows Trust, a registered charity, has decided to sell the property.
