Full Description

32931 The site of Ringstone Hall, Rippingale, is clearly marked. The remains of the cellar at present form a small pond 14 paces by 11 paces. Mawncere Marmyon (d.1505) left five marks for the 'reperation of the chapel of Our Ladye' at Ringstone. There are also records for a chaplain of a manorial chapel of St Anne in 1376, and a licence in 1405. This was probably connected with his own domain at Ringstone, where only the broken condition of the ground indicates the site of the Marmyon residence, which formerly stood near the present rectory. The lost village of Ringstone in Rippingale parish was mentioned before the Norman Conquest and again in the 14th century. Aerial photographs show traces (although partially obliterated by later works) of what appears to be desertion at TF09372703. {1}{2}{3}{4}{9} There are no surface remains of either Ringstone Hall or village, the area as outlined is under crop. The cellar (as published) is filled. There is a surface scatter of building stone at TF09302695. {1} The site of Ringstone Hall (the seat of the Marmyons). The remains of the cellar of the medieval hall survived until 1929 (C.W. Phillips 9 Aug 1929) but is now [1976] filled in. There was probably a chapel attached to the Hall (it is mentioned in 1505). The deserted medieval village of Rippingale lies in the area around the Hall site, traces are visible on aerial photographs and there is a surface scatter of building stone at TF09302695. In 1965, the neck and shoulders of a Lambeth (late 17th century) jug in grey salt-glazed stoneware and part of a face roundel of a Bellarmine jug was found on the site of the Hall. {5}
