I'm thinking along the lines of a roof tile 
I've tried enhancing the lettering in the Maltese Cross - but still can't quite read it properly.

The only references I can find, to a Norman Brick, is for a brick size/style, as in this link

It looks like NEWTON. Google found a IDEAL TILE in Newton, but it doesn't look like a manufacturer. (?)

The color suggests maybe a fire brick I think, like around a wood stove type application.
-I'm basing this on the color of the chipped portions, which I'm supposing would be closer to the original color

If it can't be solved here, it seems like he's the man to ask.

I guess I just assumed it was oriented the same way as the letters above the symbol.

Why? Because it looks like an "Iron Cross"? Not German specific. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_pattée
Even this is not German- Visitors' Page 3: BrickCollecting.com

I know of no word in the English language that starts with BEEB. Of course I BEEB could be the first beginning letters of a company name or I as the first initial and BEEB as the beginning of a surname. BEEB could also be the first four letters of a foreign word or name.
Since the OP is from NY, I'm assuming it was found in NY; therefore, the letters in the cross could be NEW YOR.
I agree with Benz in that it looks like fire brick material.
Neat find
(Now go find some more of it!)
