The Church of St John the Evangelist is a church in Ryhall, Rutland. It is a Grade I listed building. [2]
The church dates from the early 13th century. [3] Several carved figures are positioned around the outside of the church. [4] The south porch has a parvis room, [5] which would have been made for the priest. [6][ better source needed]
St Tibba is said to have lived in the village [4] in the 7th century. [5] She was buried in the church but in the early 11th century her relics were translated to Peterborough Abbey by Abbot Ælfsige (1006–1042). [7] [8] The remains of a small hermitage associated with the saint can be seen on the west side of the north aisle of church. [9]
In 2019 leaking roofs had become a major problem and the church was added to the Heritage at Risk Register. Work on the roof was completed in late 2022 and the church removed from the register.
