Barton-upon-Humber or Barton is a town and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. The population at the 2011 census was 11,066. It is situated on the south bank of the Humber Estuary at the southern end of the Humber Bridge. It is 46 miles (74 km) east of Leeds, 6 miles (10 km) south-west of Hull and 31 miles (50 km) north north-east of the county town of Lincoln. Other nearby towns include Scunthorpe to the south-west and Grimsby to the south-east.
The Barton – Cleethorpes Branch Line (opened 1849) via Grimsby terminates at Barton-on-Humber railway station. The A15 passes to the west of the town cutting through Beacon Hill, and has a junction with the A1077 Ferriby Road to South Ferriby. The B1218 passes north-south through the town, and leads to Barton Waterside. Kimberly-Clark had a factory on Falkland Way close to the railway, known the Barton Plant; this area is known as the Humber Bridge Industrial Estate. Barton is on the south bank of the Humber estuary and is at the southern end of the Humber Bridge. The Viking Way starts near the bridge.
St Peter's Church has a Saxon tower. An Anglo-Saxon inhumation cemetery at Castledyke South, in use from the late 5th or early 6th century until the late 7th century, was investigated and partially excavated 1975–90: the skeletal remains of 227 individuals were identified, including one who had undergone (and survived) trepanning. The church was reopened in May 2007 as a resource for medical research into the development of diseases, and ossuary, containing the bones and skeletons of some 2,750 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.
There are two churches in Barton-upon-Humber, St Peter's and St Mary's, located only about 170 yards apart. St Peter's is a large, mostly Anglo-Saxon church and predates St Mary's — which may have originated as a chapel on the original market place, enlarged and increasing in importance as the town's trade thrived in the 12th and 13th centuries.

OOPS, is UK's Oldest Saxon Church, actually LATE ROMAN!?
TSHIRT DESIGNS! GET YOURS and help me out!!
This video states that the old 'Saxon Church' at Bradford on Avon is actually centuries older than this! It is clearly late Roman!
* More epic fails! The whole of architectural history in the UK could well be wrong! The example is the image of St Peters at Barton Upon Humber, shown towards the end of the video. This is clearly a Roman structure on the bottom, with a continuation in the Saxon style built a little higher. At top there is a Norman edifice!
* look at the Curia Julia, the Roman Senate! This is a larger version of what is going on at Bradford on Avon, yet built during the time of Augustus!
* look at the ruins of Ardmore, clearly Roman, (they say SAXON) motifs yet there were no Saxons in Ireland! What's going on!
