History of St Mary’s Church, Ripple
The history of St Mary’s is somewhat shrouded in mystery. It was built sometime in the early 1190’s possibly by the lord of Ripple Manor and at some point in the 15th century gained 16 misericords - a complete set of 12 labours of the months, plus four others - it is worth noting that they bear a striking family resemblance to the misericords at both Great Malvern Priory (with the exception of March, which in Ripple shows harrowing whilst at Great Malvern it shows sowing) and the misericords at Worcester Cathedral.
I have as of November 2008 been unable to find any website for St Mary’s Ripple.
