Holy Trinity Church, Kirk Ireton
Holy Trinity Church, Kirk Ireton
Kirk Ireton's Holy Trinity Church dates back to Norman times with the earliest parts being the 3 bayed south and north arcades. It has an interesting custom known as 'roping for weddings', when the village children put a rope across the road and the bride and groom are not allowed to leave the church until a toll has been paid in silver by the groom.

Kirk Ireton village still celebrates a Wakes week, which starts on Trinity Sunday, the church's patronal festival. A procession of villagers is led by a local brass band, from the Barley Mow pub to the church for thanksgiving.
