Kirk Ireton is a village in the Debyshire Dales district, 6½ miles S of Matlock and 5½ miles NE of Ashbourne. The church, in the village centre, consists of an aisled and clerestoreyed nave with a S porch and a W tower and a chancel with N and S chapels and a N vestry. The church is 12thc in origin, including the lowest stage of the tower and the S nave arcade. The N arcade is 13thc, but both aisles were remodelled later: the S aisle in the 14thc, and the N in the 17thc, when the clerestorey was added. The upper parts of the tower are 14thc. Romanesque features described here are the S arcade and the S doorway.
