Notable buildings

Barlow's church is dedicated to St Lawrence. Barlow Woodseats Hall, on the edge of the village, is the only manor house in the parish and dates from the 17th century. Amongst the other historical buildings is Lee, or Lea, Bridge, which is a grade II listed early 18th-century packhorse bridge; it has been described as "a substantially complete example of rural bridge 'engineering'".

Notable residents

Bess of Hardwick possibly lived in Barlow. Her first husband, Robert Barlow, came from the village and it is possible that Bess lived with him there during their brief marriage and/or with his family there for a short while after his early death.
