In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Newsham like this:
NEWSHAM, an extra-parochial tract in Caistor district, Lincoln; 8½ miles N of Caistor. Pop., 14. A Gilbertine priory was founded here, in the time of Henry II., by Peter de Gousel; and was given, at the dissolution, to the Brandons.
Newsham is now part of WEST LINDSEY District. Click here for graphs and data of how WEST LINDSEY has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Newsham itself, go to Statistics.
