Place-name & its Origins - Barton-upon-Humber - North Lincolnshire

The Doomsday Book (1086) referred to the town as "Bertune".


Other names - for the town include Bartuna, Baertun.
The name - can be translated to 'the barley farm, the outlying grange by the River Humber'. No doubt so named in relation to Barrow upon Humber.
