Barningham is a village in County Durham, in the Pennines of England.

History

Barningham is listed in the Domesday Book under the Gilling Wapentake (later Gilling West and part of the Honour of Richmond) of Yorkshire as a property owned in 1066 by an Anglo-Saxon lord, Thor, before the Norman conquest; by 1086, the ownership had transferred to Enisant Musard, with Count Alan of Brittany as a tenant.^[2]

The village, along with the wider and former Startforth Rural District, was formerly governed under the North Riding and was transferred to County Durham's governance in 1974.

Amenities

Barningham is a tranquil conservation village of around 60 houses. It has a large village green, a church, a stately home occupied by a local landowning baronet, a village hall used by local interest groups and a recently restored pub. It is on the edge of moors stretching westwards to Cumbria and is a good base for walking the local dales and hills. The village has an enthusiastic local history society which runs a website and offers assistance to anyone trying to trace ancestors from the area.^[3]
