==History==

===Prehistoric===
[[Cropmarks]] and the discovery of polished [[handaxes]] in the area surrounding Barton-upon-Humber suggest that the area was inhabited at least as far back as the [[Neolithic British Isles|Neolithic]] (circa 4000 to circa 2,500 BCE).<ref>{{PastScape |num=1335424 |access-date=16 November 2018}}</ref><ref>{{PastScape |num=79007 |access-date=16 November 2018}}</ref>

===Roman===
No Roman settlement has been found in Barton-upon-Humber, though individual discoveries dating to the [[Roman Britain|Roman period]] have been made: in 1828 a Roman [[cremation]] and an [[inhumation]] were discovered,<ref>{{PastScape |num=78999 |access-date=16 November 2018}}</ref> in 1967 part of a [[Roman road]] was excavated near Bereton school (now Baysgarth school),<ref>{{PastScape |num=79051 |access-date=16 November 2018}}</ref> and other finds of coins, potteries, [[querns]], and other Roman objects have been made.<ref>{{PastScape |num=79016 |access-date=16 November 2018}}</ref><ref>{{PastScape |num=79010 |access-date=16 November 2018}}</ref><ref>{{PastScape |num=79054 |access-date=16 November 2018}}</ref> The [[Deepdale Hoard]] was discovered in the vicinity in 1979.<ref name=chre>{{cite web |title=Hoard Details 1240 |url=https://chre.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/hoard/1240 |website=Coin Hoards of the Roman Empire |publisher=[[Ashmolean Museum]] |access-date=15 July 2022}}</ref>

An Anglo-Saxon [[Burial|inhumation cemetery]] was discovered at Castledyke South during the construction of air raid shelters in 1939.<ref>{{cite web |title=Volume: Finds from an Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Castledyke South, Barton-on-Humber, North Lincolnshire; Radiocarbon Dating File |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/photos/volume/EHC01/216/0027 |website=Historic England |access-date=29 July 2023}}</ref> The cemetery,    believed to have been in use from the late 5th or early 6th century until the late 7th century, was investigated and partially excavated during 1975 to 1990. The skeletal remains of 227 individuals were identified, including one who had undergone (and survived) trepanning.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Castledyke South, Barton-on-Humber |first1=G. |last1=Drinkall |first2=Martin |last2=Foreman |first3=Martin G. |last3=Welch |location=Sheffield |publisher=Sheffield Academic Press |year=1998 |isbn=9781850756439 |name-list-style=amp}}</ref> 

The Castledyke South area has been suggested to be the site of the [[Battle of Brunanburh]] (AD 937), one of the most defining battles in the history of the British Isles.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.academia.edu/43763747|title=Brunnanburh-The burh at the Spring: The Battle of South Humberside|journal=EYLHS Historian Journal|volume=21|pages=27–44|last1=Deakin|first1=Michael}}{{Dead link|date=September 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Historical sources tell of a huge fleet of warships entering the [[Humber]] led by [[Olaf Guthfrithsson]].

R. Darlington and P. McGurk, 2 (Oxford, 1995), p.387</ref>

===Medieval===
The name Barton derives from the [[Old English]] ''bere-tūn'' meaning a '[[barley]] farm'.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Lincolnshire/Barton+upon+Humber|title=Key to English Place-names|website=kepn.nottingham.ac.uk|accessdate=28 September 2025}}</ref>

Barton is mentioned as a medieval borough in documents dating from 1086, 1216&ndash;1272 and 1298.<ref>{{PastScape |num=922063 |mname=Barton-upon-Humber |access-date=16 November 2018}}</ref> A ferry to Hull was first recorded in 1086.<ref>{{PastScape |num=79005 |mname=The Barton Ferry |access-date=16 November 2018}}</ref> The oldest residential building in Barton is [[51 Fleetgate]]: it dates back to 1325 with the majority of the front of the building dating to 1425.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bartoncivicsociety.co.uk/51fleetgate.html |title=51 Fleetgate |publisher=Barton Civic Society |access-date=3 December 2018}}</ref> The Medieval manor in Barton was [[Tyrwhitt Hall]] which dates to at least the 15th century.

===Churches===
There are two medieval churches extant in Barton-upon-Humber, [[St Peter's Church, Barton-upon-Humber|St Peter's]] and [[St Mary's Church, Barton-upon-Humber|St Mary's]], located only about 170 yards apart. 

St Peter's is a large, mostly [[Anglo-Saxon architecture|Anglo-Saxon]] church. The [[Church of England]] made it redundant in 1972, after which the remains of some 2,750 people were removed. The significance of the human remains lies in their representing the pathology of an isolated community over the period ca. 950-ca. 1850. The church was reopened in May 2007 as a resource for medical research into the development of diseases and [[ossuary]] practices.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ekklesia.co.uk/node/5571 |title=Church finds there's life in the old bones yet|publisher= [[Ekklesia (think tank)|Ekklesia]] and [[Ecumenical News International]]|access-date= 18 August 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url= https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/humber/6687509.stm |title=Skeleton collection goes on show |publisher=[[BBC News]] |date=24 May 2007 |location=[[London]] |access-date=31 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url= https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/humber/7283445.stm |title=Reburial for Anglo Saxon remains |publisher=[[BBC News]] |date=7 March 2008 |location=[[London]] |access-date=31 July 2015}}</ref> An excavation report on this, one of England's most extensively investigated parish churches, was published in 2007.<ref>{{cite book |title=St Peter's, Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire : A Parish Church and its Community.

St. Peter's predates St. Mary's, which may have originated as a [[chapel]] on the original market place. St. Mary's was enlarged and increased in importance as the town's trade thrived in the 12th and 13th&nbsp;centuries.<ref>{{cite web|last=Varah|first=Hugh|title=Visitors' Guide and History of Saint Mary's Church| url= http://www.stmarysbarton.org.uk/StMarysBarton/History.html| publisher=The Parish Church of Saint Mary the Virgin| access-date=4 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=St Peter's Church, Barton-upon-Humber|url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/st-peters-church-barton-upon-humber/|publisher=English Heritage|access-date=4 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{National Heritage List for England|num=1083103|desc=St Peter's Church|grade=I|access-date=4 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{National Heritage List for England|num=1346773|desc=St Mary's Church|grade=I|access-date=4 December 2013}}</ref>
