The village has a long history, with evidence of human activity dating back to Roman times.
The name "Monks Kirby" is thought to originate from its association with the Knights Templar, who owned land in the area during the medieval period. The "Monks" part of the name likely refers to the Templars, who were often referred to as monks, despite not being part of any monastic order.
