Welcome to the Home Page of the Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Barton-on-Humber. We are in the Diocese of Lincoln in the Province of Canterbury of the Church of England.

For many years, Barton had two churches a few hundred metres apart, but the internationally known tenth century church of Saint Peter is no longer used for regular worship, but is under the care of English Heritage and is open 10 am to 5 pm Weekends and Wednesday-Friday in the summer. For winter opening hours, see here. For information about its recent refurbishment and about the new ossuary, please click here. On 7 March, 2008, the new ossuary was blessed as part of a Requiem Eucharist in Saint Peter's for all those ancient citizens of Barton whose bodies were excavated in the 1980s and whose bones are now cared for in the Ossuary. For a picture and details of the service, click this link.

We are in the process of digitizing church archive material from the last 30 years. This includes some material from the Parish magazines of the 1970s. To see this material, click on "Archives" in the left-hand menu.

Access to Saint Mary's is usually available on most days, as it is a Cascade church in the Lincolnshire Church Tourism Cascade
