Newton House, built in 1840 and extended in 1851, was built for the eldest Welby family son of the time. During the 1970s and 1980s the house was unoccupied and was bought and restored in the early 1990s. The Old Rectory, on the site of a previous rectory, was built at the same time as Newton house, as was Laundry Cottage which lies close to an artificial pool. The washing for Newton house was carried out in a special wing of the cottage.
