In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Newholm like this:
NEWHOLM-WITH-DUNSLEY, a township in Whitby parish, N. R. Yorkshire; on the coast, 2½ miles W of Whitby. Acres, 2, 254; of which 89 are water. Real property, £3,051; of which £100 are in mines. Pop., 382. Houses, 78. A maritime fort was built hereby the Emperor Justinian; and a Roman road, called Wade's Causeway, went thence to Malton. The Danes, with a numerous force, landed here in 867. There is a Wesleyan chapel.
