Abingdon Abbey may have had a Saxon parish church in Newenham.
If so, it was destroyed in the Danish invasions of the 10th century.
There was then a parish church of All Saints that served the village from the Middle Ages until the 1760s, but little information about it survives.
It was demolished in 1764 to make way for Earl Harcourt's landscaping plan (see above).
Remains of two windows of the old church and one of the tombs were moved to Baldon House at nearby Marsh Baldon, where the windows were used to create a folly.
 The Earl removed monuments from both the churchyard and the church, demolished the church building and sold its ring of five bells.
The English Baroque style monument to Anthony Pollard (died 1577) and Philippa Pollard (died 1606) was salvaged from the medieval church, and is now displayed in an open-fronted shelter outside the 'new' 1764 church, which is now redundant.
