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.
