An historic borough, Kirkby’s
origins date to the 11th century then know as
Cherchebi, with a population of around 70 people!
Cherchebi was even deemed worthy of a mention in the Domesday Book.
Designed by Paley and Austin, the present day
parish church of St. Chad was consecrated in 1871
by the Lord Bishop of Chester.
Its many Gothic and Norman features lead to the
assumption that St. Chad's is of earlier origins. |
