Church of St Mary, Barnetby le Wold Disused church on an ancient site, some distance from the village. Its early origins are shown by a Saxon window, with a unique carving of a cat above it, though there are early 19th-century furnishings. Evidence of a north aisle from arcading in the church, indicates that the building was once much larger. The church was  declared redundant and closed in 1972.
