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. [2]

History

The church is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene and to St Andrew. [3]

The church is 13th century [4] [5] but there was probably an older Anglo-Saxon one pre-occupying the spot. [3] 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. [3] [5]

Over the vestry door in the south aisle, is a Norman tympanum. [5] 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. [3] [5]
