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.

From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Craven, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. 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. 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. Notable historic houses include the Grade II listed Newton Grange which now provides holiday cottage accommodation and is a venue for weddings, and the grade II* listed Bank Newton Hall.

Bank Newton Hall

Bank Newton Hall is a historic building in Bank Newton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The older wing of the building dates from the mid-17th century, when it may have constituted one wing of a larger house. An extension was added in the 18th century, and the rear elevation was altered in the 19th century. The house was grade II* listed in 1964. The building is constructed of rendered stone with a stone slate roof. The original block has three storeys and an attic, and a single bay. It has a single double-chamfered window in each floor with from eight to two lights. This tiering of windows of reducing width makes them the key architectural feature of the house. Each window has a hood mould, and there is a ball finial on the gable apex. On the left return is a massive chimney breast, and at the rear are round-headed windows, including a stair window. The extension to the right is lower with two storeys, and it contains mullioned windows. Inside, the newer wing has an original fireplace, and there is believed to be another in the older part, along with a panel with a carving of a coat of arms.
