Newton-under-Roseberry

The village below Roseberry from which it takes its name although in the 19th-century it was often referred to as Newton-in-Cleveland. There is a suggestion however that it was originally called Newton-under-Othenesberg which evolved to Newton-under-Roseberry with the slurring of the ‘r’. The ton suffix in Newton derives from the Anglo Saxon meaning a farm or enclosure and is quite common in the Tees Valley: Stainton, Ayton and Hilton.
