What justifies conservation laws in non-uniform spatial/temporal fields, if Noether's theorem doesn't?

Noether's theorem is based on the assumption that the Lagrangian is independent of position/time/angle/etc. Does this mean it doesn't prove, for example, conservation of momentum in a gravitational field, where the potential energy of the Lagrangian does depend on position? If so, is there some adaptation of Noether's theorem, or new theorems altogether, that justify conservation laws in non-uniform spatial/temporal fields?
