Ribston Hall – Font in Chapel

Slide 10 – Attached to the Hall is the Ancient Chapel of St Andrews, commonly called Ribston Hall Chapel, wherein are some memorials of the Templars as well as the Goodricke Family. There are also two memorial tablets to the present family of Dent. This Chapel or Church was certainly in existence before 1231, as an ancient record of that date describes it as “the chapel situate within the Churchyard at Ribberstaine.” The font is ancient and quaint, and doubtless dates back to the time when the Chapel was erected, say about the end of the 12th century.
