History
At the then Smallway's Farm in the mid-1700s was a malt house, by at latest 1843 using grain from a field to the west of the farm. Parsonage Farm, still existing at the centre of the hamlet, of 63 acres in 1745 and 56 acres in 1843, was glebe land in the advowson of the trustees of Felsted School, until, in 1876, the rectory was bought by Henry Selwin-Ibbetson, 1st Baron Rookwood of Down Hall in the then Hatfield Broad Oak, now Hatfield Heath parish.[1] At the northeast of Parsonage Farm are the remains of a possible mediæval moat, now a scheduled monument.[2]
There are four Grade II listed structures at Newman's End:
- 'Parsonage Farmhouse', a four bay timber framed and plastered two storey house, with pargetting details, dating to the 17th century;[3]

- 'Red Tile Cottages', a timber framed, tiled roofed cottage dating to the 16th century, and in 1609 part of Housham Hall manor;[5]
- 'Pump on the Green', late 19th-century cast iron water pump[6]
