Barnetby le Wold, Lincolnshire

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Otherwise known simply as Barnetby, this busy village has a history at least as old as the Domesday Book of 1086. Nearby is the abandoned church of St Mary, which may date to the Saxon period. Outside Barnetby, beside the A18, is a 17th century gallows erected on the orders of King James I. It seems that two local families of gentry, the de Ros and Tyrwhits, had a sometimes violent feud that ran for almost 3 centuries. King James built the gallows and decreed that any subsequent deaths due to violence between the families would be considered murder and the offender would be hung. It must have worked - there are no further reports of incidents!
