There have been very few celebrity Newbons over the centuries, although between the late 1700s and early 1900s members of the Newbon family became prosperous citizens of the City of London, moving away from the family trade of baking into the law. The most interesting family member is probably Joseph Newbon (1840-1901), who founded the United Wards' Club of the City of London in 1877, was a member of the Common Council of the City of London and wrote a history of Blackfriars. Other notable figures with Newbon connections include E.H.Shepard, the illustator of A.A.Milne's Pooh Bear books - he is related to Elizabeth Shepard, the wife of Joseph's uncle Henry Newbon - and Heinrich August Luyken, a notable writer in Esperanto, who married Alice Maude Marian Newbon, daughter of a second cousin of Joseph Newbon. Trinity College, Cambridge boasts a window dedicated in 1766 to the Rev. Richard Newbon (1722-1801), Senior Tutor of the College and Vicar of Enfield.
