Newsholme is a small village and civil parish in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It originates as a township of the ancient parish of Gisburn, in the Staincliffe Wapentake. This became a civil parish in 1866. According to the 2001 census, it had a population of 50, however the United Kingdom Census 2011 grouped the parish with Horton and Paythorne (2001 pop. 76 and 95), giving a total of 253.[1][2] It lies on the A682 road, four miles north of Barnoldswick and 12 miles west of Skipton.
The civil parish adjoins those of Paythorne, Horton and Hellifield.
In the west of the parish, on high ground overlooking the River Ribble, are the remains of a late Anglo-Saxon or early Norman Ringwork castle, called Castle Haugh but also known locally as Cromwell's Basin.[3] On the eastern side of the village, next to Demesne Farm is the site of a mediæval Manorial Hall called the Old Hall. [4][5]
Between 1872 and 1957 the village had a railway station on the Ribble Valley Line.[6]
The Pennine Bridleway National Trail and Ribble Way pass through the parish, crossing the Ribble on the Paythorne Bridge. [7][8]
