Newton Tony (formerly Newton Toney) is a rural English village and civil parish in the county of Wiltshire, close to the border with Hampshire. Situated in the Bourne Valley, Newton Tony is about north-east of its post town, Salisbury. Wilbury House, a Grade I listed 17th-century mansion, stands in parkland in the north of the parish. History The Port Way Roman road crossed the parish to the south-east. A settlement was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Newentone, on seven carucates (ploughlands) of land held by Alfred of Marlborough. By 1257, the manor was held by Roger de Tony (or Tosny), hence the suffix Tony; the last of that line to inherit was Alice de Toeni (c.1284–c.1325), later Countess of Warwick. The manor house, no longer standing, was in the north of the village; from the later 17th century it was the home of the Fiennes family. From 1710 it was superseded by Wilbury House, about north-east of the village. A church had been built by the 12th century; the present church is a complete rebuild of 1844. A Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1877 and closed in 1981. Until the late 20th century, the name of the village and parish was Newton Toney. Governance Most local government functions are carried out by Wiltshire Council, a unitary authority. The parish forms part of the electoral division of Winterslow and Upper Bourne Valley, which elects one councillor. Newton Tony is represented in the House of Commons as part of the constituency of Salisbury. Since the 2010 general election, Salisbury has been represented in Parliament by the Conservative MP John Glen.

Religious sites The parish church of St Andrew was built in 1844 to a design in 14th-century style by Thomas Henry Wyatt and David Brandon, replacing an older church on the same site.
