Hi Joanne
Apologies for delay in replying. I dug out what information i have on the church at kirknewton, took some photos and have written a short blog http://blog.northumbria-byways.com/2010/11/kirknewton-parish-church.html which you might find of interest.
Within the helpful leaflet provided at the church was this
"The original registers date from 1670.However they were damaged by fire in 1785 and only charred fragments remain.Apart from those in current use, the registers from 1785 are in the custody of the Northumberland County Archivist in Newcastle"
For pictures suggest that you try geograph.org.uk. It has royalty free images of the whole of the UK.
good luck
Colin
