Rippingale

Rippingale

Rippingale is a village in Lincolnshire, England on the A15 road about 5 miles north of Bourne. Its local government district is South Kesteven.

St Andrew's parish church dates from the thirteenth and fourteenth century, though the tower dates from a century later. In the church yard was located a (rare for Britain) weeping ash (Fraxinus excelsior'Pendula') for a century until 2002; having died it was felled.

The local pub is called The Bull Inn. A railway station on a line between Bourne and Sleaford opened in 1871 for goods and closed in 1964; regular passenger services lasted from 1872 to 1930. [See the [http://homepages.which.net/~rex/bourne/rippingale.html page on the Bourne, Lincolnshire] website.] The Church of England Primary School closed in July 2007.
