The church, which is a very ancient structure, is dedicated to St. Cuthbert, and stands in a low retired situation, at a little distance from the village, towards the south, and not far from the site of an old castle. There is nothing in the style of architecture of the present edifice that points out the era of its foundation; but, upon the authority of Domesday book, where the KETTLENESS, in the parish of church is mentioned, we may conclude it to Lythe, wap. and liberty of Langbargh; 6 be of great antiquity, and it was probably miles NW. of Whitby.

The ancient name seems to have been Kirk by Ravensworth, being the parish Church to six townships, and standing near the village of Ravensworth. The village is situated upon a hill, and the houses form a square. The church, dedicated to St. John, the Baptist, is a neat stone building, and from its white appearance, and elevated situation, seems well adapted to remind the neighbouring villagers of their great duty; it is in the diocese of the Rishon of Chester, who receives the corn tithes, and is the patron of the living. There are two Schools here, one a boarding school of some repute, for young gentlemen, the other is a Free Grammar School, founded and endowed by Dr. Dakin, Archdeacon of the East Riding, about the year 1555. It is free for as many young men and boys as may resort to it, to be instructed in grammar and classical learning; there is also an Hospital connected with the endowment, for twenty-four aged persons of both sexes, to be selected from those that were born in the parish, or have lived ten years in it. The endowment of the School, together with the Hospital, is in lands, situated principally in the parish of East Coulton, and the corn tithe arising from the parish of East Coulton, amounts to upwards of 12004. per annum. The salary of the master is about 2007. per ann. varying however, with the rent; the usher has a third of the sum. The master must be a clergyman, in priests orders, and cannot hold any church benefice. The whole is under the management of two wardens, who, with the master and poor people form a body corpor ate, and use one common seal. The office of warden is biennial, and the election is conducted thus: the Churchwardens for the time being, with the Clergyman, nominate six householders, whose names are written' A Foot Post, Mon.

Christopher Bethel, D.D. rector KIRKDALE, (P.) in the wap. of Rydale; 2 miles W. of Kirkby-Moor-Side. The church belonging to this village, is situated in the southern extremity of this vale, in a most sequestered but beautiful spot, surrounded with woods, and has been much noticed, on account of a very ancient Saxon inscription over the south door, which may be thus translated:-Orm, Gamal's son, bought St. Gregory's church, when it was all gone to ruin and fallen down; and he agreed with Maccan, to renew it from the ground to the king: and Tosti's days, the Earl. This Christ and St. Gregory, in Edward's days, is a draught exhibiting the time of the day, while the sun is passing to and from the winter solstice. Hawarth me made, and Brand the priest." This inscription fixes the antiquity of the church. Tosti or Tas ti, the fourth son of Godwin Earl of Kent, and brother of King Harold, was created Earl of Northumberland, by Edward the Confessor, in the year 1056, and fell at the battle of Stamford Bridge, in 1066, so that the erection of this church was antecedent to the Norman Conquest, a thing so rare, that there are not above three or four churches of so ancient a date in the kingdom. The living of Kirkdale, after passing through a variety of patrons, came into possession of Henry Danvers, Earl of Danby, who give it to the University of Oxford, about year 1632, when he founded the Physic the See this Vol. page 21. |
