Kirkby Malzeard /ˈkɜːrbɪ ˈmælzərd/[2] is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. There has been a creamery in the village making Wensleydale cheese for almost 100 years, first owned by Mrs Mason, then Kit Calvert, of Hawes, subsequently the Milk Marketing Board and more recently it was acquired by the Wensleydale Creamery. [3]
History
Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the village was mentioned in Domesday Book as Chirchebi (meaning "church village"). The suffix Malzeard (another place-name, meaning "bad clearing" in Norman French) was added by the early 12th century.[4] In medieval times the honour of Kirkby Malzeard included large areas to the west of the village in upper Nidderdale, and the parish came to include several townships:
- Azerley
- Fountains Earth
- Grewelthorpe
- Hartwith cum Winsley (a detached part)
- Laverton
- Stonebeck Down
- Stonebeck Up
The townships became separate civil parishes in the 19th century.[5]
The writer and historian William Grainge was born to a farming family in the village.[6]
Governance
An electoral ward in the same name exists. This ward stretches south to Sawley and has a total population taken at the 2011 census of 3,109.[7]
