Welcome to St Michael & All Angels Church, Newton Purcell

The church of St Michael & All Angels, Newton Purcell is a member of the Shelswell group of parishes.

The village lies on the eastern boundary of the Shelswell benefice, on the road between Finmere and Newton Morrell, which follows the line of the old Roman Way. The name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word "ton", meaning a settlement, hence "new ton" is a new settlement.
Purcell was the name of a family who were 'lords of the manor' in the village during the middle ages
