Background
History
The village has existed since Norman times – the chancel of the church of St. Mary Magdalen shows construction of circa 1160 there and supporting feet of fines and ecclesiastical records mention the village at the time. Ripley's sister village of Send to the south-west was the governing parish over the village for over 700 years until 1878 when they became two separate ecclesiastical parishes; they became separate civil parishes in 1933.
Visiting
Ripley is mentioned in H. G. Wells' novels The War of the Worlds and The Wheels of Chance. The Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes short story "The Naval Treaty" includes a setting in Ripley.
