A large village in northern Buckland, situated a few miles north of Crickhollow.
Notes
1
The 'new' in Newbury's name hints that it was one of the later settlements to spring up in Buckland, but we have no definite dating to corroborate this idea.
2
Newbury's location close to the Hedge that guarded Buckland from the Old Forest, coupled with the -bury element of its name (meaning 'fortication' or castle') provide circumstantial clues that it was founded as part of the Bucklanders' defences against the strange trees of the Forest.
