Kirkby Malham is a small village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. Situated in the Yorkshire Dales it lies 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Settle. The population of the civil parish as taken in the 2011 Census (including Hanlith and Scosthrop) was 202.^[1] Nearby settlements include Hanlith, Malham, Airton and Calton.

History

Kirkby Malham was mentioned in the Domesday Book as being waste, but that the land belonged to Roger of Poitou.^[2] The name of the village derives from Old Norse, and means the village with a church by the stony bank.^[3] The presence of the word Kirkby in front of the village name suggests that a church was here before the Domesday Survey, however, the Domesday Book makes no mention of a church.^[4]

Nearby settlements include Malham, just to the north, Hanlith to the east by the River Aire, and Airton and Calton to the south.^[5] It is 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Settle, and 9 miles (14 km) north of Skipton.^[6] In 1606, John Topham founded a grammar school in Kirkby Malham for between 20 and thirty local children, which was described as having "moderate quarterages", although the classics were taught for free.^[7]^[8]

It has a joint parish council, Kirkby Malhamdale Parish Council, with the parishes of Malham, Malham Moor and Hanlith.^[9] The village has just over 35 buildings, one of which is the parish church of St Michael's.^[10]^[11] The church was a Parliamentary garrison during the English Civil War and the parish register contains the signature of Oliver Cromwell who witnessed a marriage in the church in 1655 (he had been visiting John Lambert of nearby Calton).^[12]^[13] The school, Kirkby in Malhamdale United Voluntary Aided Primary School, is just to the north of the village and was rated as Good by Ofsted in 2019.^[14]

Governance

The area was part of the Deanery of Craven, within the wapentake of Staincliffe.^[15] The village was also known historically as Kirkby Malhamdale, and was in the West Riding of Yorkshire, part of the Settle Rural District, until the boundary changes of 1974.^[16]^[17] Between 1974 and 2023, it was part of the former Craven District of North Yorkshire, but was moved into the new unitary authority of North Yorkshire Council in April 2023.^[18] It is represented at Parliament as part of the Skipton and Ripon Constituency.^[19]
