History

High Street

The name Barmby derives from the Old Norse bjarnibȳ or barnebȳ meaning 'Bjarni's' or 'Barne's village'. Perhaps, it could also derives from barnbȳ meaning 'child's village'.

The parish church of St Helen is a Grade II listed building. Now no longer active, it is currently under the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches charity. The village also has a Methodist chapel, located on High Street.

The village was served by a pub, the Kings Head, but this is now Lorenzo's Italian restaurant. There was another pub that served the village, the Sloop Inn which was located at the western end of the village beside the River Derwent, although this closed some decades ago.

Barmby lies at the end of a long dead end road, on which also lies the village of Asselby. At the end of the road is the Barmby on the Marsh Wetlands, a nature reserve at the confluence of the rivers Derwent and River Ouse.

The local primary school is located at the western entrance to the village.

Barmby was served by Barmby railway station on the Hull and Barnsley Railway between 1885 and 1955.
