St Mary’s Church, Kirkburn Kirkburn is small village, a few miles to the southwest of Driffield. Like Garton-on-the-Wolds, it has a “Sykes Church” restored by Sir Tatton Sykes in the mid-19th century. St Mary’s is another Norman church with a Nave probably dating from 1130-40. 
Lots of awful ‘restoration’ works were carried out in the early 19th century but luckily Sir Tatton Sykes then took an interest and much more appropriate works were then carried out, restoring the chancel to its Norman appearance.
