West Barkwith and its neighbour East Barkwith were mentioned in Domesday Book of 1086 as one entity and consisted of 26 households and a church.[1]

The parish church was medieval and dedicated to All Saints.[2] The Diocese of Lincoln declared the church redundant in September 1981, and in February 1983 the church was demolished.[3]
