Background

History

The name of the village, Kildale has derived from Norman times where it was scribed as Childale. The transition from 'Chil' to 'Kil' is uncertain. But could have changed to 'Kil' in Saxon times because of the Norse Kyll stream, or after the name of a Saxon proprietor patronymic. In 900 years, the lands of Kildale have been owned by three families. Stone built walls were built as boundaries to enclose Kildale's fields and many are still standing today, over 300 years later. Farms and the majority of houses are tennants owned by the landlords of the estate.
