As part of the Auction of land and properties in 1918, various colour-coded maps were created. This allows a view of the overall Parish, the outlying farms, the Village Centre of Church Lawford and King’s Newnham Village, using a number of maps.
- King’s Newnham
This map shows the extent of the King’s Newnham Parish area in the early twentieth century. The references and colour coding are explained in the narratives about the village auction of 1918. By this date both the limeworks and the King’s Newnham baths were disused, although King’s Newnham Mill was still operational.
