Descripción del sitio
The Church of St Michael is early 14th century, built when the early English style was giving way to the Decorated, on the site of a much older one, for which traces of a Saxon wall near the west door provides some evidence. It has a fine Perp tower and contains some interesting heraldic glass and tiles. The screen under the tower is one of oldest timber sreens in Derbyshire. There are monuments to the Meynell and Pole families.
The Meynell family have held land at Kirk Langley since the reign of Henry the first and the village in fact consists of 2 parts, Kirk Langley with the parish church and Meynell Langley.
