Kyre Church (pronounced "Keer"), also known as Kyre Wyard or Kyre Magna dates back to the 12th century.
From the church website :-
The earliest parts of the church are Norman C12. there are traces below the chancel of an earlier apse. In the C14 much of the church was rebuilt in the Decorated style with trussed rafter roofs. The chapel was added then.
The Chapel built in C14 when the arch was cut into the Nave and the decorated witndows inserted. The heavy truss beam (16) supports the bell turret built about 1700 when the bells were moved from over the nave to here. The treble bell is inscribed M Corbett CW, Isaac Hadley Fecit 1703.
