BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Newbald is a civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 8 miles (13 km) west of the market town of Beverley. Described by Nikolaus Pevsner, one of our greatest historians of ancient buildings as, ‘the most complete Norman Church in the East Riding’ and often called ‘the Cathedral of the Wolds’, the church derives its name from the Greek, Saint Nikolaus of Myra (270-340 AD).
