Barbon is a village and civil parish in Cumbria, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 263,^[2] which decreased to 236 according to the 2011 Census.^[1] The church is dedicated to St Bartholomew. The village is about 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Kirkby Lonsdale and 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Casterton.
