If the Vikings and French are to be believed, a small village in what was the old West Riding came to be called ‘because of the church by the poor clearing in the forest’.
It was mentioned in the Domesday Book, which, of course, goes back to 1066 and appeared as Chirchebi meaning church village. Malzeard was added a fair few decades later.But, it is very likely that village life of some kind was established long before the Domesday Book.
A local website, Kirkby Malzeard Area, was set up in 2020 as a community venture led by local residents. It features extracts from a 400 page book by Ian Corfield, “Kirkby Malzeard Since 1850” and tells of finds over the years, centuries actually, that tell of a life long before any living record.Mr Corfield recalls that axe heads and querns have been unearthed at Azerley and Laverton.
