| LONGNEWTON [district] | Longnewton (District) | Chalmers Caledonia Vol: II P.168 New Statistical Account Fullertons Gazetteer |
010.15; 014.02; 014.03; 014.04; 014.06 | Longnewton, was at one time a separate and distinct Parish, but joined to Ancrum about the end of the 17th century. The parish of Longnewton was originally called Newton, the meaning whereof, in the speech of the Saxon settlers, is obvious; the prefix (lang) long was added by them to denote the elongation of their Newton. The church of Longnewton anciently belonged to the monastery of Jedburgh, but to the Episcopal Superintendence of Glasgow. The church has been long ago demolished; but its cemetery continues to be used, by those Parishoners, who regard the remains of their Fathers. |

Ordnance Survey - Roxburgh county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Roxburgh, which is in the south east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
