The Church of St Lawrence is an Anglican place of worship in the village of Kirby Sigston in North Yorkshire, England. the oldest part of the church dates back to the 12th century, although the presence of the name Kirby Sigston suggests a church was in the village at the time of the Domesday survey. The village lies to the north of the church, and to the south is the site of a deserted medieval village. The church building is now a grade I listed structure.
History
[edit]The Church of St Lawrence lies on a ridge of land just to the south of the village of Kirby Sigston, near to the remains of Sigston Castle.[1] The main body of the church dates back to c. 1190, and has dragons carved into the stonework.[2] The tower is of Norman origin, but was largely rebuilt during the 18th century.[3]
