The main industries in Newbald involve eggs and warehouses.
North Newbald is one of the more picturesque villages in the East Riding of Yorkshire, being home to one of the oldest stone-built Norman churches in the world, complete with Coronation Clock (installed at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II), a communal village green, on which is located the whipping post used in the last public flogging carried out in Britain.
