The church of Kirkby Ireleth, a name of Norse beginning, is detailed in the Domesday Book as one of the municipalities forming the Manor of Hougun which was held by Tostig Godwinson, Earl of Northumbria. Much of the real estate and also framework in Kirkby occurred as a result of the growth and advancement of the Burlington Slate Quarries, which are possessed by the Cavendish family members of Holker Hall as well as Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. Houses at Marshside as well as Incline Foot were originally built for quarry workers, as well as the railway connected to the quarries following bogie lines.

The village has a progressively aged population because of the surge in house prices and absence of residences ideal for very first time customers.
