All Saints

All Saints, was originally built in the 12th and 13th century, when the population of the Wolds was considerably greater. As the population declined the building was gradually reduced in size and its exterior and interior walls show evidence of a lost north aisle, a west tower and the truncation of the chancel.

St German

With 12th century origins St German's is a grade II listed parish church that sits quite a way outside the village of Ranby. Try and spot the large, ornate gargoyles of pigs and humans high above in the tower.

St Swithin

Now you see it, now you don't! An unusual and fascinating church, effectively a medieval church encased in a Georgian red brick shell in 1758. St Swithins still holds many treasures inside its walls and the trouble taken to obtain the key and open the Norman west door is well worth the effort.

St Margaret

The first view one has of the village is that of the tower of the greenstone church of St Margaret with its dominating red clock. Created in 1787 by horologist Edmund Howard, the long drop clock is truly a remarkable piece of engineering.
