The population was estimated at 80 in 2012.〔 In the 2011 census the parish was included with the parish of Bishopdale.〕 Newbiggin is home to The Street Head Inn, a family run business, dating back 300 years. It was a 17th-century coaching inn, but is now a B&B with 5 well appointed rooms and a food menu with locally sources ingredients.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discoveryorkshiredales.co.uk/accommodation/street-head-inn/ )〕 The name Newbiggin derived from the words 'niwe', which is Old English for 'new' and 'bigging', a word from Middle English, said to mean 'building'. This translates to New Building in today's language.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Yorkshire%20NR/Newbiggin )〕 ==History== Newbiggin once belonged to Jervaulx Abbey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64744&strquery=newbiggin%20north%20yorkshire )〕 Newbiggin is home to a number of 18th-century houses, one of the more notable ones is in the north end of the parish.
