Barnetby le Wold is a small rural village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England, located between Brigg and Immingham. The village is also nearby to the market town of Barton Upon-Humber. The population of the village in 2001 (according to the census) was 1,593. This increased by 148 to 1,741 in the 2011 census. It is estimated that the current population is nearer the 2,000 mark.
The village is widely known for the railway station which serves the village and surrounding area.
As of April 2017, the local MP (member of Parliament) is Andrew Percy (conservative) for the constituency of Brigg and Goole.
The village has a rich history of over 1,000 years. It was first named in the Domesday Book of 1086 where it is called "Bernodebi" which is derived from the Scandinavian name "Beornnoth".
The railway station in the village is one of the primary reasons as to why the village is of existence as it has caused people to reside nearby the facility.
The redundant Church of St Mary on Church Hill is originally of Saxon origin, but the recent building contains more Norman architecture. The font inside the church is said to date from the times of King Stephen. On the northern side of the church a crude carving of a cat may be seen. St Mary's Church originally possessed a Norman lead font, which was the only one in Lincolnshire - being only 30 such examples in England. The font was moved to the newer church of St Barnabas and is now in the North Lincolnshire Museum, Scunthorpe.
Despite being called "new", St. Barnabas Church was completed in 1927, and is of brick construction. For many years the church hall was of wooden construction, but this was demolished and a modern brick hall built on the site. The church hall was the main venue for many village functions until a purpose built village hall was built during the 1980s alongside the playing fields. The other religious building in Barnetby is the Methodist Chapel and Hall on West Street.
