Tickencote
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tickencote is a small village in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It is famous for its church of St. Peter, which possesses a superb Norman chancel arch and unusual chancel roof ribbing.
The village was formerly the location of Tickencote Hall, built 1705 and demolished 1950. This was the seat of the Wingfield family who carried out much of the restoration of the church.
