Ryhall is a village and civil parish in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It is situated close to the eastern boundary of the county, about 2 miles (3 km) north of Stamford. ==History== There is an early thirteenth-century parish church, dedicated to St John the Evangelist. The exterior has a number of interesting carved figures. The southern entrance has a porch with a room over it, originally for the priest, now called the Parvis Room. Saint Tibba, patron saint of falconers, is believed to have lived in Ryhall in the 7th century. She was buried here, but in the 11th century her relics were translated to Peterborough Abbey, now Peterborough Cathedral, by Abbot Ælfsige (1006–1042).〔 The society is now known as (Peterborough Museum Society )〕〔(''A History of the County of Rutland: Volume 2'', Page, W. (ed.), 1935. ) British History Online. Retrieved 16 March 2010〕 According to legend, St Tibba was a niece of King Penda of Mercia.〔Rollason, D.W., ''The Mildrith Legend A Study in Early Medieval Hagiography in England'', Leicester University Press, 1982 (e.g. p. 115, in Medieval Latin).〕 The remains of a small hermitage associated with the saint can be seen on the west side of the north aisle of church.〔 A 19th-century book refers to a holy well dedicated to Saint Tibba, though the location cannot now be identified, and there is similar doubt about the location of a well said to have been dedicated to Tibba's alleged relative, St Ebba.〔 For the relationship between St Tibba and St Ebba ("Domne Eafe"), see e.g. Rollason, D.W., ''The Mildrith Legend A Study in Early Medieval Hagiography in England'', Leicester University Press, 1982, p.77.〕 The route of the Stamford and Essendine railway passed through the parish, on embankments still clearly visible today. It included a station called "Ryhall & Belmisthorpe", located in Belmesthorpe. The line opened in 1856 but closed a century later in 1959. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ryhall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
