Barningham is a village in the North Riding of Yorkshire, in the Pennines.

This is a tranquil conservation village of around 60 houses. It has a large village green, a church, a stately hall occupied by a local landowning baronet, a village hall used by the Women's Institute and other local interest groups, and a tiny pub (no bar: they serve from the cellar). It is on the edge of moors stretching westwards into Westmorland and is a good base for walking the local dales and hills.

The Milbank Arms

The village has an enthusiastic local history society which runs a website and offers assistance to anyone trying to trace ancestors from the area.

The village pub is the Milbank Arms, a Grade-II listed building built in the early 19th century.[1] It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.[2]
