Etymology
'The new farmstead', v. nīwe (nīwan wk.obl.), tūn ; later described as 'cold' because of its exposed, bleak situation, v. cald . Willelmus Burdet held one knight's fee here in 1236 Fees. Willielmus Marmion held land and tenements in the township in 1271 Fine. That the affix ~ Marmion appears only from the later 16th cent, may be due to antiquarian rather than to popular usage. Both Lowesby and Tilton adjoin Cold Newton. The occasional form Newinton ' is from nīwan , the wk.obl. case of nīwe .
