Our Town Today
Kirkbymoorside, or Chirchebi as it was called in the Doomsday Book, this busy market town offers a wide range of facilities and services from guest houses and restaurants to family businesses and specialist commercial companies. The Wednesday market started in 1254 is still in business today with a variety of individual stalls lining the cobbled streets and is one of the few private markets left. Kirkbymoorside is full of history and the streets reflect the various phases of the town’s development. You will find the ancient coaching inns of the Black Swan with its carved porch and the 13th Century crook built George & Dragon Inn sat alongside the Yorkshire Penny Bank and the Georgian facades of the market place. A popular trading post for the coaching routes between York and Scarborough and across the moors, Kirkbymoorside once boasted a pub on every corner! Today you will find not only the original pubs, but cafes and restaurants catering for all tastes and a wonderful selection of shops. The In Bloom group is very active and every summer the streets as a blaze of colour with tubs and hanging baskets adorning the lamp-posts and verges.
It is the final resting place for one of history’s most infamous rogues George Villiers 2nd Duke of Buckingham. He was a favourite of Charles II and is described in history as a man with a passion for wine, women and intrigue! No stranger to political scandal, he was one of the CABAL Govt who exerted real influence over the policies made by the parliament and is said to have plotted with others in one of the rooms near to the Black Swan Inn. His scandalous love life is also well recorded. He had many lovers and introduced King Charles to Nell Gwynne.
However, Kirkbymoorside is also within a key religious area. The beautiful and isolated dales and valleys are ideal for spirituality and religious communities and it is no surprise that within a few miles you can find St Gregory’s Minster at Kirkdale, St Cedd’s Monastery at Lastingham, as well as the well known Rievaulx, Byland and Ampleforth Abbeys. Within the town you will find a Methodist chapel, St Chad’s Catholic Church and All Saints Parish Church, as well as the Friends Meeting House which dates from 1690.
The religious life of Kirkbymoorside is still strong and very much in harmony with the churches working together especially over the festive period. come along at Christmas and you will witness the Walk to Bethelehem around the town - complete with donkey. So come along and rediscover a hidden gem on the edge of the moors.
