Set the scene.
Kirkop became a parish in 1592. The church underwent enlargement between 1706 and 1779.
Here’s the twist.
Bishop Labini consecrated the building in November 1782. Its two bell towers were added later, in 1860.
Why it still matters.
Try looking at the towers as a separate historical layer. The outline you recognise from a village square may combine work from the Knights’ period and the British period.
