Kildwick history
Etymology
The first known documentation of Kildwick’s name is as Childeuuic in the Domesday Book. In Latin, the digraph ch is pronounced /kʰ/ not /tʃ/ so its pronunciation was the same as it is now. The meaning of its name depends on whether it was named by the conquering Vikings.
Property
The Domesday Book of 1086 has the first record of Kildwick in writing. It lists the Lord of the Childeuuic manor as Arnkeld with about 240 acres (100 hectares) of ploughland and an Anglo Saxon church. William the Conqueror deposed all the Angle-Dane lords and rewarded his great Norman warriors.
Population
1379 Poll Tax recorded Kildwick township as having only 10 households, all paying minimum tax. 1672 Hearth Tax counted 25 households in the township with mostly but one fireplace, but also the 14-hearthed manor house. 1821 parish registered 8,605 inhabitants. 1831 parish was 9,926 however township only 190. 1881 district had been divided so district down to 8,923.
St Andrew’s Church
Fragments of 10th-century crosses have been excavated from its walls, evidence of the Anglo Saxon church built here before the Norman conquest. Cecilia de Romille gave the church to Bolton Priory in Wharfedale. After the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 Scots raiders sacked Bingley and Bradford Churches, but spared Keighley and Kildwick Churches because they were dedicated to St. Andrew, patron saint of Scotland. In the reign of Henry VIII under the patronage of Christ Church the church was almost entirely rebuilt.
