In 2016, Clapham cum Newby were informed by the Government of the United Kingdom that it would be too expensive to extend superfast broadband to their area due to it being a remote rural area. Residents responded to this by raising £250,000 of their own money to fund the installation of their own private broadband which would link up to BT's broadband network and would serve everyone in the parish.

Listed monuments
Clapham cum Newby has forty-seven listed buildings and monuments. One of the monuments is a standing cross located outside of the old Manor House. It is believed to have been constructed during the reign of King John of England when he gave Clapham its market charter. Over time, the main cross had been taken off the base. In 1897, to commemorate the Diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria, a new shaft and cross were installed on top of the original medieval base. The manor house itself was reconstructed in 1701. It remained as a private dwelling before becoming a community centre. Later in the 18th century, a bridge across the river was constructed designed to serve the local church. The church itself had been constructed in the 15th century with renovations in the 1800s leaving only the tower from the original church standing.
