• Richard Newman of Fifehead 1620-1695 is said to have lived in Tothill Street, Westminster - ref: http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1690-1715/member/honywood-sir-william-1654-1748.
• His son Richard Newman of Evercreech Park 1650 - 1682 left a will in which he left to his wife Grace the house in Tufton St Westminster. Raymond Mercier also reported that Richard Newman 1620-1695 had a dwelling in Tufton Street which was probably inherited by his son. It may also have been owned by Richard Newman of Fifehead d.1649 since it appears to be he that is described in the purchase contract for Evercreech Park as Richard Newman of the City of Westminster.
• In an Act of Parliament drawn up in 1754 to empower a committee of the estate of Elizabeth Kitchen to make leases during her lunacy, mentions the four children of Sir Richard Newman of Evercreech, viz: Sir Samwell, Frances, Barbara and Elizabeth, living in a tenament at the Old Palace Yard, Westminster. The Act describes the dwelling in quite disparaging terms: "Freehold Messuage or Tenement, in the said Parish of Saint Margaret, Westminster, is in such a decayed and ruinous State and Condition, that it will be absolutely necessary to pull down, rebuild, or substantially repair, the same: But it is apprehended, that no Person will take a Lease thereof, for the Purpose aforesaid, without having a long Term of Years granted of the said Premises."

Tufton Street, Tothill Street and Old Palace Yard are all located close to one another as can be seen in the maps below:
