Rippingale is part of the Ringstone in Aveland group of parishes, in the Aveland Deanery of the Diocese of Lincoln.[3] The incumbent is Linda Pugh.[3] St Andrew's Church dates from the thirteenth and fourteenth century, though the tower dates from a century later.[4] In the church yard was located a weeping ash, Fraxinus excelsior 'Pendula' – a tree rare for Britain. It survived for a century until 2002 – having died it was felled.
