According to the 2011 UK census, Barmby Moor parish had a population of 1,114,[1] an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 1,065.[2]
The name Barmby derives from the Old Norse bjarnibȳ or barnebȳ meaning 'Bjarni's' or 'Barne's village'. Perhaps, it could also derive from barnbȳ meaning 'child's village'.[3]
The village was originally a market town with a coaching inn.[4] It has the Anglican St Catherine's Church, Barmby Moor, a chapel, village hall and a primary school. There is also a post office and a pub, The Boot & Slipper. The church and The Manor House were designated as Grade II* listed buildings in 1967 and are now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[5][6]
Each July a traditional fete – the Barmby Feast – is held in the village.[7]
Education
Barmby Moor Primary School is a Church of England school. The foundation governors are appointed by the church.[8] The school maintains close links with St Catherine's Church and other church schools within the Diocese of York.
The former school house is now the location for a Kids Club and a Pre-School. Both are charities run by locals.[9]
