Barrow was the son of the Rev. Richard Barrow, of Southwell and his wife Mary Hodgkinson, daughter of George Hodgkinson. His uncle was William Barrow archdeacon of Nottingham. He was educated at the Collegiate School at Southwell, and practised as an attorney from 1806 to 1833.

In 1851 Barrow was elected at a by-election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for South Nottinghamshire. He was returned unopposed at the five succeeding general elections and held the seat until 1874.[3]
Barrow died unmarried at the age of 91.
