Mary Magdalene, Ratley - a photo on Flickriver

North chancel window depicting Christ appearing to Mary Magdalene in Gethsemane by Ward & Hughes, 1884.

Ratley is a charming village perched atop the southern slopes of Edgehill, its church with the unusual dedication of St Peter ad Vincula nestling amid the lush foliage of its churchyard at the southern end of the settlement. It is built of the richly hued local ironstone and is a fairly modest building of mainly 14th to 15th century date with a square tower at its west end and a single aisle added to the nave on the south side.

Within it is a light an airy building, white rendered walls with exposed stone left only on the arches and windows which emphasises their attractive colouring. Most of the windows are plain-glazed which further increases the brightness inside. The church underwent some restoration in the Victorian period which is most apparent in the chancel, with its richly tiled floor and rather more austere reredos.

Ratley church is happily normally kept open and welcoming to visitors, like most of the Edge Hill area cvhurches.
