The manor of Newton Ferrers is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as Niwetone.  It was granted to a branch of the Norman family of de Ferrers, after which the manor and village became known as Newton Ferrers. It was probably the birthplace of 17th-century pirate Henry Every.   On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished to form “Newton and Noss”, and part also went to Yealmpton.  So it’s been there a long time, and so (in its own way) has this real-photo card, mailed in 1959 with stamp and clear postmark.  Grade: 1
