The Manor House was built for Rev. Secretan Jones, who was vicar of Oystermouth until 1867, and was living in Mumbles until 1881.
In April 1819 Thomas Gordon of Llwynybwch in Llanrhidian granted a lease to William Hammerton, the minister of Paraclete, for the field at Newton known as Kilhay or Killay for sixty years at a ground rate of five guineas a year, with permission to build a house. This field stretched through from New Well Lane to Slade Road but did not include the ground above the drangway where the Newton Inn now stands. y Wendy Cope
