History
The parish records begin in 1646, but there is a gap in the records from 1710 to 1730. Traditionally Ågerup and Kirkerup formed a chapelry. However, sometime between 1891 and 2000, the Hvedstrup-Fløng chapelry was dissolved. Fløng became its own chapelry and Hvedstrup was added here to form the Ågerup-Kirkerup-Hvedstrup chapelry.
