| Kilburn |
St.Mary's Kilburn first appears as a Chapel in the parish of Coxwold
[Coxwold Church was possibly the minster or mother-church of this
district]. In 1145 it was appropriated by Robert de Mowbray to the
Augustinian Priory of Newburgh, which would then be responsible
for appointing a priest to serve at Kilburn. Names of early priests
are not yet known.

At the Dissolution of the monasteries in the reign of Henry VIII,
Kilburn was given to the Archbishop of York, who remains the
patron of the living.
