Description

Newton North Church is a Grade II listed building featuring a nave, chancel, small south transept, and west tower, all of which are roofless. The structure is built from local hammer-dressed masonry that is irregularly coursed. Some carved stone remains in the east window, the high-level west window, and the two north windows, likely dating from the Tudor period. The west doorway has an equilateral archway made of two stones, with chamfered arch and jambs. The tower consists of three storeys and is in a state of ruin.

The interior lacks all fittings, and due to the roofless condition, the floor is buried and inaccessible. The chancel is small, measuring about 5 meters by 3.5 meters, and is slightly inclined to the right in relation to the nave's axis. It features a small two-light window to the east and a small lancet window at high level on the south side. The chancel arch is pointed, with the lowest part above the imposts being corbelled, and there is a slight impost moulding on each side.

Complete rood-loft stairs begin in the south transept and rise a half-turn anticlockwise, with minimal headroom suitable only for a boy. The south transept may have originally served as a tomb recess, and there is a recess for a stoup on the east side. The nave is small, approximately 10 meters by 5.5 meters, and contains Tudor windows on the north wall, featuring four-centred lights. The base of the tower is vaulted but fully open to the nave, and the only entrance to the church is through the tower. The tower stairs are accessed from the southeast corner of the nave and rise to the roof level, although the roof and floors are missing.

There are no monuments, font, or glazing present in the church.
