Bank Newton is a small settlement and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 47, and at the 2011 census the population of the civil parish remained less than 100 and therefore its details were included in the civil parish of Gargrave. [1] In 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated the population of the parish to be 50. [2]

It is about 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Skipton and is on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal; there are six locks on the canal at Bank Newton. [3] In 2016, as part of the canal's bicentenary, lock number 38 was officially renamed the 'Mike Clarke Lock' in commemoration to the president of The Leeds and Liverpool Society, Mike Clarke. [4]

Notable historic houses include the Grade II listed Newton Grange which now provides holiday cottage accommodation and is a venue for weddings, [5] [6] and the grade II* listed Bank Newton Hall.
