St Wilfrid's Church, Kirby Knowle

St Wilfrid's Church is the parish church of Kirby Knowle, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

A church was built on the site in the 12th century, and was altered in the 13th century.^[1] Its chancel was rebuilt in 1815, but in 1848 it was still described as a "small structure".^[2] The building was demolished, and a new church was built between 1873 and 1874,^[1] to an Early English design by G. Fowler Jones. The church was grade II listed in 1966.^[3]

The church is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a nave, a chancel with a north vestry and a southwest tower with a gabled south porch. The tower has two stages, a chamfered plinth, buttresses, slit vents, paired bell openings with impost bands, and a stepped embattled parapet on a dentilled base. The windows in the church are lancets, and the east window has three lancets under quatrefoils. Inside, there are 17th- and 18th-century brass memorials, a broken Mediaeval graveslab and some other Mediaeval stones. The font probably dates from the 17th century.^[1][3][4]
