Description
Radnage is first recorded in legal documents in 1162, with further mentions later in the 12th century and in the 13th , 14th, 15th and 16th centuries (B1).
The village, which contains a few houses of the 16th and 17th centuries, lies high in the north-west of the parish. The church stands to the north of the village in a well-wooded churchyard with the rectory, a red brick house, to the west of it. An old well here bears the name of the Monks' Well. The houses collected in the south of the village, amongst them a timber and brick 17th-century cottage, are known as Town End, a name of some antiquity (B2).
'Radnage' is marked on OS maps from 1812 onwards (B3).
