The Church of St Mary Magdalene and St Andrew is the Church of England parish church in Ridlington, Rutland. It is a Grade II* listed building.
The church is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene and to St Andrew.[1]
The church is 13th century[2] [3] but there was probably an older Anglo-Saxon one pre-occupying the spot.[1] The church underwent a major Victorian restoration in 1860.
The church has a Jacobean memorial to James Harington (1542–1614) and his wife facing each other, praying in a kneeling position.[1] [3]
Over the vestry door in the south aisle, is a Norman tympanum.[3] Before the 1860 restoration, it was in two pieces in the external south wall of the chancel. The tympanum features a winged gryphon and a lion fighting with an 8-spoked wheel beneath.[1] [3]
