The North Newbald Chapel was built in 1867, the cause having been undertaken as a mission station attached to Bishop Burton. The pulpit was for some years supplied from Beverley and the neighbourhood. At that time the district possessed a strong force of lay preachers, for, from Beverley, came Alderman Sample and Alderman Stewart, and Messrs. W. Arnott and J. W. Clark; whilst from Bishop Burton came Robert Gray and John Hulme, and Josiah Palmer, their pastor. The chapel was closed for some years owing to serious dissensions, but, in 1899, a Church consisting of ten members was formed, and the Rev. U. G. Watkins was invited to its honorary pastorate. He still continues this helpful ministry with the assistance of the lay preachers.
