BARTON UPON HUMBER
More usually known as Barton rather than by its full title, this pleasant market town successfully merges old with new and is a thriving community at the southern end of the Humber Bridge.
Barton’s roots go back to Saxon times and probably earlier than that, reflected in the tower of its “mother” church which is dedicated to St Peter.
Haven Bridge - Ron Chant
One of the most celebrated parish churches in the country, St Peter's has undergone a £600,000 refurbishment and is said to be the most studied church in England.
Now the church marries its Anglo-Saxon origins with modern day technology with a new exhibition, Buried Lives, which gives visitors a glimpse into the lives and deaths of Barton residents centuries ago.
On display are some of the skeletons which were unearthed during the excavations led by Dr Warwick Rodwell in the period between the late 1970s and the mid-1980s.
One of the highlights of the displays is the 11th century skeleton of a middle-aged man, possibly dating from the time of King Canute which has been restored to its oak coffin.
Barton also lays claim to having probably the oldest house in northern Lincolnshire. No 51 Fleetgate goes back around 600 years and features many fascinating artefacts of life in years gone by.
Wootton village pond - David Martineau
History aside modern Barton is a lively community and one which continues to expand with modern housing developments providing homes for commuters from both banks of the Humber.
Barton has a thriving shopping centre with a wide variety of retail outlets.
The town also offers excellent river front walking and nearby is the Clay Pits Nature Reserve, a wildlife haven, which stretches for five miles along the Humber Bank.
Thornton Abbey - David Martineau
In recent years Barton has become THE place for motor bike enthusiasts who gather annually for the annual Bike Night which attracts visitors to the town from all over the country.
Famous Barton residents have included:
