- Arthur was a well-to-do surgeon with a collecting habit. His will (1785 HRO 1785P16) reveals the start of a weapons and coin collection. He also had a harpsichord and a library of books. He instructions that Joanna has the pick of the books after his death.
- The family was basically tragic. Of their 4 children: their son Arthur had died in India, Charlotte also died young (too many children in too short a time for her constitution) and John died in 1790. [the same year as his mother]... In Ringwood church is a monument put up by their second son Jeremiah. It reads:
“To the memory of Arthur Newman Esq who departed this life the 15th of February 1785. Also Joanna his wife who died the 10th of June 1790.
This pair whose parental anxieties ceased only with life, had the following children: John, Fellow of New College, Oxford, Jeremiah of the College of Physicians, London, Charlotte and Arthur, a Lieutenant of the East Indies. Of these only the second remains to contemplate a domestic circle in a few years almost exterminated and after a short delay, to join his family in the grave.
The above Jeremiah died the 27th of July, 1839 in the 81st year of his age. And Mary his wife who died the 10th of October 1860 aged 90.”

It is situated on the banks of the river Avon. A cell to St. Saviour's, Normandy, was founded here in the reign of Henry II., by W. de Salariis, of which there are some traces, and given to Eton, by Henry VI. The surface is flat and the soil a gravelly loam, mixed with sand. The living is a vicarage* in the diocese of Winchester, value £159 in the patronage of Eton College. The church occupies the site of the ancient cell, some portions of it being the same materials. It is dedicated to St. Mary. In the churchyard is a plain stone commemorating the execution of Lady Lisle, who was beheaded by Judge Jeffreys in her old age, on a charge of harbouring rebels in her mansion of Moyle's Court. The charities produce about £5 per annum. The Earl of Normanton is lord of the manor."
