Chirbury history
The name of Chirbury was recorded in 915 as Ċyriċbyrig in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. The 8th century Offa’s Dyke marked the frontier of the Mercian kingdom. Its Welsh name, Llanffynhonwen, means “the church of the white well” or “…of the holy well”
Church and Priory
St Michael’s Church is the only church in Chirbury, and is dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel. Originally an Anglo-Saxon church, founded in 915 (with the building of the fort) or possibly earlier, the current building largely dates to the late 12th century. The church was restored in 1871–72 by Edward Haycock junior.
Conservation area
Most of the village’s buildings are either of a red brick or limestone construction, or a combination. The centre of Chirbury is a conservation area, which includes St Michael’s Church, The Herbert Arms, Primary School and the Parish Hall.
