History
High Street

The parish church of St Helen is a Grade II listed building.[3] Now no longer active, it is currently under the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches charity.[4] The village also has a Methodist chapel, located on High Street.

The village was formally served by a pub, the Kings Head, however this is now Lorenzo's Italian restaurant.[5] There was another pub that served the village, the Sloop Inn which was located at the west end of the village beside the River Derwent,[6] although this closed some decades ago.

Barmby is situated at the end of a long dead end road, on which also lies the village of Asselby. At the end of the road is the Barmby on the Marsh Wetlands, a nature reserve at the meeting point between the River Derwent and River Ouse.[7]

The local primary school is located at the west entrance to the village.[8]

Barmby was served by Barmby railway station on the Hull and Barnsley Railway between 1885 and 1955.[9]
