Church of St Mary Magdalene and St Andrew, Ridlington

The church is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene and to St Andrew.^[2]

The church is 13th century^[3][4] but there was probably an older Anglo-Saxon one pre-occupying the spot.^[2] 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.^[2][4]

Over the vestry door in the south aisle, is a Norman tympanum.^[4] 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.^[2][4]
