All Saints at Ragdale
This weeks investigation takes the team to another Leicestershire village of Ragdale to the All Saints Churchyard. It has a Medieval foundation with a medieval cross and boundary wall still intact.
It's always exciting to look at history and to investigate medieval places. You never know what you will see or capture. it's the fun, mystery, and adventure.
The investigation went well and just completed before before we dehydrated. This church is built unusually from a yellow type of Ironstone rather than granite, as seen on most Leicestershire churches. It dates from around the 1300s to 1500s.
The large stepped cross and the boundary wall are both medieval.
The team had some EMF KII and Mel Meter spikes with interaction, but nothing this time with the cat balls, we didn't pick anything up on the EVP
A Medieval cross with a sturdy base in a churchyard surrounded by old and new gravestones, some sheep with thick wool, a 13th to 15th century stone church and a mysterious looking Elizabethan Hall are the four subjects in a late 19th century picture of Ragdale. Ragdale is a small village sitting on the north bank of a feeder stream to the River Wreake.
All Saints Church and the churchyard cross are hidden by a few trees. A sign on a wooden entrance gate to the churchyard warns to keep it shut and bolted because of the livestock in the adjoining field. The gate, which needs some new paint, is adorned with coloured fluffy balls, a tradition. Gary Asher recalls: “My father was vicar of Ragdale, Hoby, Rotherby, and Brooksby from 1958 until he passed away in 1975. One of the highlights was the midnight service at Ragdale on Christmas Eve. As I remember, the two church wardens, Mr Foinette and Mr Geary, aided by locals, used to decorate the church and place lanterns along the pathway through the field. For years, the church would be packed.”
The church claims to have the oldest church bell in Leicestershire, dating from around 1300. There is one other old bell and a third from 2000, commissioned to celebrate the Millennium. The bells can be struck, but not rung.
