The manor of Wolborough was given by William Brewer to his foundation of Torre Abbey in 1196, and Nova Villa, a small settlement on the south bank of the River Lemon, is referred to around 1200. For a time the town was known as Shireborne Newton, but the name Newton Abbot established itself before the end of the 13th century. A new town was also established on the north side of the Lemon by Sir Theobald de Englishville in 1246, which took the name of Newton Bushel (Highweek). The two towns coalesced in a short time.
