 NEWTON, a '''parish''', in the county of Edinburgh, 2 miles (N. W.) from Dalkeith; containing the villages or hamlets of Adamsrow, Claybarns, Edmonstone, New Engine, Old Engine, Easter and Wester Millerhill, Pentecox, Redrow, Sherriffhall-Engine, and Squaretown, and the hamlet of Backdean. This parish, includes the old parish of Woolmet, which was united with it at the Reformation. The church, rebuilt, with the exception of the ancient tower, in 1742, and repaired and reseated in 1819, is a neat structure, but containing only 430 sittings. The '''chapel''' at Edmonstone is a handsome structure in the later English style, now used, however, only as a mausoleum.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43467#s16 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 309-324.
