A good place to try is http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/TF4314
However, no luck for the church, just the village.

The parish church of St. James is a medieval structure with a tower. Formerly dedicated to St Katherine, the church was built in the 12th century and widened in the 14th century.

I'm trying to find the name of a small Church in Newton near Wisbech, that a few of my relatives are buried. Caroline Heather married a Merrell, and her sister Louise Heather who married a Watts. I think both of the grave stones have these surnames: Merrell and Watts. Anyone know where I can find a photo of the Church and perhaps the graves too ?? Not sure how many small Churches are in Newton, but hope not too many.
