Kirton
and
the Domesday Book

Our village was recorded as Kirketuna in the historic Domesday book some-time around 1086. It also confirmed the existence of a church building in the village even then.
We urge you to take a stroll down Rectory Lane/Church Lane and visit our tangible link with the past. The present Kirton Church building dating from the 1300s is open every day and you will find a beautifully illustrated Guide (£5) to its origins in the Porch. The churchyard is maintained with a thoughtful balance between being both tidy and wildlife friendly.
The Tower was built while Henry the Eighth was busy divorcing/beheading his wives.
"The Friends" were set up so that people at large could show their appreciation of this beautiful building and its setting - not just church-goers. Some Friends choose to make regular donations, others help out with work in the churchyard or running our events but many simply support by attending our events.
