From the Wikipedia article

Barlby is a village in the civil parish of Barlby with Osgodby, in North Yorkshire, England. It lies on the east bank of the River Ouse, opposite Selby, within the Vale of York, a flat and low-lying landscape shaped by rivers and arable farming. Since 1 April 2023 the area has been administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. Barlby was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The parish contains several listed buildings, including All Saints’ Church and Barlby Hall, and it also includes the Selby Railway Swing Bridge and the former War Department munitions depot at Magazine Farm. The village and surrounding area experienced major flooding in November 2000 during widespread floods on the lower Ouse. For Westminster elections Barlby is in the Selby constituency created for the 2024 general election.
