St Mary's Church.

The church in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Newton in Mottram was built in an Italian Romanesque style with semi-circular arches, usually referred to as Norman architecture, and the west façade has two turrets. It was erected in 1837/39 for the Church Commissioners to a design by the Manchester architects Hayley and Brown (William Taylor and Thomas Brown). The church interior originally had two galleries but a third was added when a new chancel was built, with other alterations, in 1876/77 by the Manchester architects James Medland Taylor and Henry Taylor.

St Mary's Church, Newton Moor, is listed Grade II, List Entry No. 1162405.

The land for the church was given by John Ashton (1800-29 Jul 1844), a member of the local mill-owning family. Inside the church there is a memorial to John Ashton and his father, James Ashton of Newton Lodge, off Lodge Ln. The lodge and grounds were given to Hyde by the Ashton family in 1902 and the grounds were opened as a park in 1904. The lodge was demolished in 1937/38 and replaced by Bayley Hall.
