Methodism was introduced into Newtown in 1811 and 1812, when campmeetings were held in the vicinity. It was not until 1840, however, that an organization was effected, at which time it was embraced in the Doylestown and Attleboro circuit, the existence of which dates from may 29, 1840, when it embraced Doylestown, New Hope, Pennsville, Attleboro,  Newtown, Yardley, Morrisville, and Lumberville.

Of Newtown churches, the Presbyterian was the only one in existence in the last century. the first church building was erected in 1734 on the Swamp road a mile west of the town, where several unmarked graves in the uncultivated corner of a field mark its site. It had previously been a school-house in Wrightstown Township. The second building, the walls of which are still intact, was erected in 1769. Battle's History of BC (1887), page 461

The original log meetinghouse was built in 1721 on the northern boundary of land purchased in 1682 by William Penn from the Lenni Lenape Indians. The present meetinghouse dates to 1787. "Today's Quakers in Bucks Quarterly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends". Samuel Smith says that in 1686, James Radcliffe, a noted public Friend, settled near John Chapman, "and for the ease" of these two families, a meeting was held at their houses, which was continued until 1690, when a general meeting for the county was appointed to meet at Chapman's once a year. A meeting house was built, in 1721 and the present stone meeting was built in 1787. Battle's' History of BC (1887), page 466.

Quaker Meeting History The present meetinghouse at Wrightstown was built in 1787 but the meeting itself is much older, having been established in 1686 by what was then called Neshaminy Monthly (now known as Middletown Monthly). The preparative meeting was formed about 1723 and was attached to the Wrightstown Monthly Meeting when that body was formed in 1734 by Bucks Quarterly.
The meetinghouse was retained by the Hicksite branch at the time of the Separation.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN (1864) 2nd Inaugural

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan - to do all which may achieve a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
