Fisherton de-la-mere House is the property and residence of Robert Stirling Newall esq FSA.

Fisherton farm ... was then sold to G. R. Ryder, a former M. P. for Salisbury, on whose death in 1901 it was bought by Arthur Newall. (fn. 151) In 1955 it was sold by Arthur's son, Mr. R. S. Newall, to Col. H. Blake-Tyler. (fn. 152)[British history.ac.uk]

the bronze example found this year by Mr. R. S. Newall in his diggings at Hanging Langford Camp. This, a perfect specimen, measures 2|in. in length, and, like several of the others, has the spring broken and repaired with a piece of rolled sheet bronze roughly rivetted. It is (with the exception of the example found at Box, 1904, now in the British Museum, which is of a different type from all the others and is thought by Mr. Gray to have been imported from Gaul) the largest yet found in Wilts.

Bittern Mr. R. S. Newall writes :-" A Bittern was killed in Codford water meadow on Jan. 4th, 1918, in mistake for a Heron."

The Old Wiltshire Sheep. In July, 1917, Mr. R. S. Newall, who had been interesting himself in the matter of the old Wiltshire breed of sheep, sent two photographs of pictures of these sheep for the Society's Library, now inserted in Vol. A A. of Drawings, Prints, &c- " They are in the possession of Messrs. Waters & Rawlence, 49, The Canal, Salisbury. Mr. Mountford, of this firm, is secretary of the Hampshire Down Sheep Society, that is why they have them.

Letters appeared in the Times of July 30th and Aug. 2nd, 1923, from Mr. R. S. Newall, and the Rev. G. Engleheart, calling attention to the extreme archaeological importance of the Downs immediately round Stonehenge, the gradual destruction by ploughing and otherwise of their ancient remains, and the desirability of protecting them against further destruction, if not of securing them as public property.
