Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Ringstead, Northamptonshire
The tower is part of the early 13th century rebuilding of the Norman church which resulted in one of the finest medieval buildings in east Northamptonshire.
Internally the church has a broad nave with side aisles, the main Victorian fixtures found here introduced by GG Scott (1870s ) and by Townsend & Sons (c1900).
The principal decoration though remains the splendid sequence of late medieval wall paintings which include, above the chancel arch, angels carrying the instruments of the passion surrounding the cross.
High up on either side of the nave are yet further paintings. Equally rare is the early 15th century clock dial, supported by painted angels found above the apex of the tower arch. There is a very odd font with applied ram's head.
