NEWTON-FERRERS (Holy Cross), a parish, in the union of Plympton St. Mary, hundred of Ermington, Ermington and Plympton, and S. divisions of Devon, 2 miles (S. W. by S.) from Yealmpton; containing 778 inhabitants.
It is situated near the coast, and bounded on the west by the estuary of the Yealm: the vicinity is remarkable for scenery of great beauty. The area is 3044a. 3r. 35p. A portion of the population is employed in the fisheries in the neighbourhood. Two very extensive quarries of limestone afford materials for building and for burning into lime, and there are also quarries of sandstone, and schistose slate: in the limestone rock is a cavern, in which have been found the bones and teeth of the hyæna, elephant, and other animals. The estuary is navigable for vessels of 80 tons’ burthen.
The living is a rectory, valued in the king’s books at £41. 12. 1., and in the gift of the Rev. John Yonge: the tithes have been commuted for £429, and the glebe comprises 110 acres. The church is a handsome structure in the later English style, with a square embattled tower, and contains three stone sedilia, a piscina, and a double arch of very early date.
