Location

Monks Kirby is a village and civil parish in the Rugby borough of Warwickshire, England. It is situated about 7 miles (11 km) north-west of Rugby and about 3 miles (5 km) south-west of Hinckley, Leicestershire. The village has a long history, with evidence of human activity dating back to Roman times.
The name "Monks Kirby" is thought to originate from its association with the Knights Templar, who owned land in the area during the medieval period. The "Monks" part of the name likely refers to the Templars, who were often referred to as monks, despite not being part of any monastic order.
One of the most notable landmarks in Monks Kirby is the Church of St. Edith, a Grade I listed building dating back to the 14th century. The church is renowned for its impressive architecture and historical significance. The village has a popular school that serves the village and those neighbouring it, an active village hall and St Joseph’s RC church also close by.
Today, Monks Kirby remains a picturesque rural village with a small population. It offers a tranquil escape from urban life, with beautiful countryside surroundings and a close-knit community atmosphere. The village is also known for its conservation efforts, preserving its historical buildings and natural environment.
