In 847 AD, out of the wasteland of the south west, the Saxon King Aethelwulf created for himself an estate that stretched from the River Dart to the Plym. One of the many manors was Newton, belonging to Lord Edmar.The Domesday 1086 listed Newton as part of the holdings of the Valletorts of Trematon, across the Tamar, who gave it to the Ferrers family who had come over with William the Conqueror. By 1160 Ralph Ferrers established at Newton , who gave the name The origins of Noss Mayo more complicated. The village lies in parish of Stoke, then a sub-parish of Yealmpton. Although the nearby estate of Membland was mentioned in Domesday there was no entry for Stoke and the first record is in 1198 when Richard Revel was the lord of Stoke and gave name of Revelstoke. In 1226 the church of St Peter's on the cliffs at Stoke was built. In 1287 King Edward I gave Mathew Fitzjohn the manor of ‘Stok’ and so the village became known as Noss Mayo - Mathew’s Nose Throughout all these years the River Yealm played a vital role in the life of both Newton and Noss, for the fishing & transport & ferry 1898 a railway line built fm Plymouth to Yealmpton, and then a ferry service began which linked the villages with station at Steerpoint via the steamboat Kitley Belle. 1930s roads improved and a bus link, ending the steamboat. 20th century the expansion of the villages began. By 1910 2 roads, 13 houses and the River Yealm Hotel had been built and between the wars development continued After the war more houses were built and many of these would become holiday homes, often vacant in the winter. gradually shops closed till there were none left in Noss Mayo, but still a few today in Newton Ferrers. number of yachts etc increased at a prodigious rate, exclusively for pleasure. The villages have changed forever, . The contrast between our present way of life and that of past is so great. despite the new building, the outskirts the medieval pattern is still there, much as 1000 years ago
