Kirby Grindalythe is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated about 8 miles (13 km) south-east of Malton. The village lies in the Great Wold Valley and the course of the winterbourne stream the Gypsey Race passes through it.

History

The name of the village is derived from Old Norse. Kirby kirkiubỹr means "village with a church", the Grindal element is a distortion of Cranedale, meaning "valley with cranes" and lythe is from Old Norse "hlíõ" meaning slope.[2] Kirby Grindalythe was mentioned in the Domesday Book as being in the Hundred of Toreshou (Buckrose), belonging to King William, and having one ploughland.[3] The settlement was built around its parish church in the upper Gypsey Race Valley, and in Medieval times, it was the most important settlement in the area.[4]

Kirby Grindalythe village has a resident population of roughly fifty. There are no shops, pubs or other services and the nearest town is Malton. The church of St Andrew's at Kirby Grindalythe is on the Sykes Churches Trail having been restored by Sir Tatton Sykes in 1872–5 and again more recently after a grant of about £175,000 from English Heritage.[5] The church is now a Grade II* listed building.[6]

The village is also the location of the Cranedale Centre, a residential Field Studies Centre providing courses in environmental subjects and outdoor education to people of all ages. The centre operates from a converted farm and has been open since 1983.[7]
