I believe there are lots of Newbiggins.

Langwathby?  http://tinyurl.com/ypxcsx (also a Newbiggin in view)

Following the railway northwards from Stainforth (about 6 miles along), there is Dent Head Farm.

I can only find it as Borrins Wood on old maps - but this doesn't mean it was the wrong place.

For old maps, see www.old-maps.co.uk  (Stainforth is in Yorks, but it may not always have been so.)
