Barkby is a village and civil parish in the Charnwood district of Leicestershire, England. It is situated north-east of Leicester, and only a short way from Leicester's urban sprawl in Thurmaston and Syston. Nearby villages are Beeby and Barkby Thorpe. Barkby Brook is the main watercourse which flows through Barkby. The parish has a population of around 300. In the 1870s John Marius Wilson stated that Barkby, :"lies on an affluent of the river Wreak, 1½ mile S by E of Syston r. station, and 4½ NE of Leicester; and it includes the hamlet of Hambleton." ==History== The 1086 Domesday Book records Barkby as "Barcheberie". The name Barkby itself has an Old Norse origin meaning "Barki's farm/settlement". Barkby Hall, home and seat of the Pochin family since 1604, is a grade II listed building situated next to St Mary's Church.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.charnwood.gov.uk/listed_buildings/barkby_hall_beeby_road_barkby )〕 The country house has 3 storeys and 8-bay frontage, constructed in rendered brick c.1810.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Barkby Hall, Barkby )〕
