There is little left of King's Newnham with only the church tower remaining nearby and some old properties amongst the other houses.
The manor of King's Newnham was originally a Royal one but it depopulated following the inclosures. King's Newnham used to be known appropriately as Newnham Regis. The village declined in the late 16th century and it was Sir William Leigh who was lord of the manor during the inclosures. Several springs in the village brought fame to the area.
The Manor is Grade II Listed as the Manor Farmhouse, Kings Newnham on 04/12/1951. (

Tucked in the corner the Manor House is a two storey residence with a third level in the roof space. It is an attractive, red brick property with many windows. The Manor House was built during the Post Medieval period. There is also documentary evidence suggesting that there may also have been a brewery and a malthouse on this site.
