The Newman Building at Manchester was named in his honour. The building housed the pure mathematicians from the [[Victoria University of Manchester]] between moving out of the Mathematics Tower in 2004 and July 2007 when the School of Mathematics moved into its new [[Alan Turing Building]], where a lecture room is named in his honour. He was elected to membership of the [[Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society]] on 1.1.1945.

In 1946, Newman declined the offer of an [[Order of the British Empire|OBE]] as he considered the offer derisory.<ref name="copeland64"/> [[Alan Turing]] had been appointed an OBE six months earlier and Newman felt that it was inadequate recognition of Turing's contribution to winning the war, referring to it as the "ludicrous treatment of Turing".<ref name="n176"/>
