(Not read all the replies) but when I was looking for Lea BMD's as my g-grandmother was born there, I'm sure I saw a parish map where the area around Lea Bailey (a strip of land along the Herefordshire border) was named Newland, there was at least one other area of the Forest, other than "Newland" named as Newland. If I remember rightly I was told these were areas that for some reason were taken under the wing of Newland parish
But baptisms etc happened in Lea (Bailey) it was a long haul to Newland just to wet a babies head.
