All Saints Church Ridgmont Open Days

All Saints Church Ridgmont was built in 1855, based on a design by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the architect of St Mary’s Cathedral, Edinburgh and the Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras Railway Station amongst many other fine Gothic Revival buildings. With its tall spire and prominent position on top of the Rouge Mont, french for red hill, the church can be seen from miles around. It was here that the Reverend Charles William Frederick Cavendish-Bentinck was the serving minister when his wife gave birth to Cecilia Nina Bowes-Lyon (nee Cavendish-Bentinck) in 1862, the maternal great grandmother of King Charles III. There is a stained glass window featuring the Rev Cavendish-Bentinck that can be viewed inside the church. Leaflets about the church and light refreshments will be available, as well as the chance to speak with knowledgeable local guides. There are also many local walks in Ridgmont, one of which takes a route through the burial ground and ruined medieval church of All Saints, Segenhoe. Just ask one of the guides for directions. Access to the building itself is though prohibited on safety grounds.
