He lived in Wilford at the crossroads, opposite Wilford House between 1804 and 1805. He drew inspiration for much of his poetry from Wilford and the surrounding area. He wrote many of his poems in the gazebo which stands in the grounds of St Wilfrid's Church. Here he wrote:-  Kirke White died whilst studying at St John's College, Cambridge in 1806. He was buried in the church of All Saints Jewry, Cambridge, which stood opposite the gates of St John's College. St Wilfrid's Church features two memorials to Kirke White: one is a marble plaque inside the nave, the second is a memorial stained glass window, c1870, by O'Connor.
