MenuNewsham, Durham
Newsham is a hamlet and a deserted mediæval village on the banks of the River Tees in County Durham. Newsham (Anglo-Saxon meaning 'the new dwelling') takes its place name from a settlement around about the 12th century, evidence of which can be seen today along the top of the river Tees bank overlooking the village of Worsall in Yorkshire. Lines of walls, house foundations and other earthworks can still be traced, also the chapel of St James which was sequestered by the Bishop Langley in 1414 for non-payment of rent. This village ceased to exist by 1600. It is within the council area of Stockton-on-Tees.
