Village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England

Newton on Ouse is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England, about 7 mile (11 km) north west of York. It lies on the east bank of the River Ouse

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Neuuetone in the Bulford hundred. At the time of the Norman invasion the manor was held by Merleswein the Sheriff and then granted to Ralph Paynel.

There has been a church in Newton since Saxon times. Originally dedicated to All Saints it was known as St Mary's circa 1848–1890 before reverting to All Saints. The current Grade II Listed Building dates from 1849, although the Tower is approximately 900 years old. The church was rebuilt twice in the 19th century, first in 1839 and then again in 1849. Both rebuilds were financed by the Dawnay family who resided at nearby Beningbrough Hall. John Oates was commissioned by the 6th Viscount Downe, William Henry Dawnay, to rebuild the body of the church and this was completed in 1839. Just ten years later Dawnay's daughter the Hon. Lydia Dawnay commission George Townsend Andrews to rebuild the church and it was at this stage that the magnificent spire, 150 ft from the ground, was added. The Priest in Charge is Rev. Malcolm Wainwright.
