History
In 1823 Kirby Underdale village and parish were listed as "Kirby Guderdale", and as being in the Wapentake of Buckrose. All Saints' Church and its benefice was in the patronage of the King. Population at the time was 385, which included two farmers, one of whom was a butcher, a blacksmith, a grocer, and a carpenter. Included in the parish and its population was the hamlet of Garraby, a mile south-west, with two farmers and Sir F. L. Wood.[2]
Sir Francis Lindley Wood of Garrowby Hall and Hickleton Hall was lord of the manor and owner of most parish land, and provided a schoolmaster to teach poor parish children at Uncleby, a further parish hamlet a mile north of Kirby. One mile farther to the north was the parish hamlet of Hanging Grimston, and a mile to the south-east was Painsthorpe, where Rear-Admiral Charles Richardson lived. The population by 1840 was 293, with parish occupations that included twenty-one farmers, two wheelwrights, two shopkeepers, a tailor, a woodman, and a gamekeeper. Further residents were a schoolmaster and schoolmistress, a parish clerk, a yeoman, and the parish incumbent at the rectory.[3]
