Cemeteries

This Church has (or had) a graveyard.

Note: any church within an urban environment may have had its graveyard closed after the Burial Act of 1853. Any new church built after that is unlikely to have had a graveyard at all.

Church History

This Place of Worship was founded in the 11th century, and we understand it is still open.

Amazingly, this is an early church, dating from the 11th century, according to the British Listed Buildings website, though (to me) it looks quite modern. Perhaps that is covered by their mention that it is "much restored", the restoration taking place in 1851.

Old Maps show an adjacent property labelled "Court Farm", to the left of, and behind the church, suggesting that it was previously part of a manorial estate. Later maps mark the property as "Rangeworthy Court", and by OS 1967 1:2,500 it is labelled as "Rangeworthy Court School".

There may be more information available by by selecting one or more of the accompanying images on the right.

Denomination

Now or formerly Church of England.

If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.
