Barnes appears in ''[[Domesday Book]]'' (which was completed in 1086) as "Berne".

It rendered (in total) to its [[feudal system]] overlords £7 per year.<ref name="Domesday">{{cite web | url=http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TQ2176/barnes/ | title=Place: Barnes | work=Open Domesday | access-date=3 September 2014 | author=Palmer, J J N | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180103133619/http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TQ2176/barnes/ | archive-date=3 January 2018 |url-status = dead}}</ref>

Some of the oldest riverside housing in London is to be found on [[The Terrace, Barnes|The Terrace]], a road lined with [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] mansions which runs along the west bend of the river. Construction of these mansions began as early as 1720.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://barnes-history.org.uk/history/timeline/|title=Timeline |publisher=Barnes and Mortlake History Society |access-date=13 July 2023}}</ref> [[Gustav Holst]] and [[Ninette de Valois]] lived in houses on this stretch, both of which have corresponding [[blue plaque]]s.
