History

Anglo-Saxons

The town is known for its Saxon church tower of St Peter, and there have been many Saxon archaeological finds within the town. The Saxons or Saxon people were a Confederation of Old Germanic tribes. A steeple, in Architecture, is a tall tower on a building often topped by a Spire. Archaeology, archeology, or archæology (from Greek grc ἀρχαιολογία archaiologia – grc ἀρχαῖος archaīos The former church was reopened in May 2007 as a centre for medical research into the development of diseases, and ossuary, containing the bones and skeletons of some 3,750 people whose remains were removed between 1978 and 1984 from the 1,000 year old burial site, after the Church of England made the church redundant in 1972.

Churches

There has been a lot of speculation about why there are two churches right next to each other. St Peter's church and St Mary's church, being mere feet apart. The reason the two churches were built close together was at the time they were built when the churches served two separate villages that later amalgamated into one town by the name of Barton-on-Humber. Also one church is a lot older than the other and could not be enlarged so another one was built later. It was suggested that Barrow upon Humber would also get gobbled up in the process of building due to its location near the River Humber but Barton Council decided to go the other way because the cemetery was up Barrow Road and to close it in by building round it was not recommended so the new estate was built further away from the River Humber instead. Barrow upon Humber is a village and Civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England.
