Full Description

Ringstead Old Church, now Glebe Cottage, located north of the side of West Ringstead village. It has walls of local rubble and a roof covered with modern tiles. Only the chancel and chancel arch survive from the original building which has been considerably altered by the insertion of domestic door and window openings. A church, probably on this site, is referred to in 1227 and the surviving fabric appears to be of the thirteenth century; it was largely destroyed or abandoned in late Medieval times. (1-8)
