Britain's What's On Event Guide
St. Nicholas' Church, Ringwould
Heritage Open Day: Grade I listed 12th century church with 14th century additions and a tower from 1628, much altered in the 19th century. The present church is thought to date from around 1130, with the first Rector of Ringwould being recorded as Everadus in 1153. It is possible that a wooden building previously stood on the site as the village has had settlements since the Bronze age, and Saxon graves were recorded nearby. The present building is certainly predated by the two mighty yew trees in the churchyard, one having been aged at 1300 years and the other at 1000 years.
The original 12th century church consisted of the present nave and part of the Chancel. During the next century the chancel was enlarged to its present dimensions.
