New homes, Kirkby Thore
Although there are suburban estates in the village, these homes have been built in something like a traditional style. The give-away is that the doors and windows do not have stone surrounds like the old house next door. The first floor doorway suggests a holiday flat.

War Memorial Hall, Kirkby Thore
The foundation stone is dated 1926. The blank arches in the wall hark back to earlier centuries, but the building must have looked modern in 1926. It has the regulation ventilation turret on the roof.
