Ragnall is a village in Nottinghamshire. It is located on the A57 road one mile west of the River Trent.
At the time of the 2011 census it had a population of 146
The parish church of St Leonard was extensively rebuilt in 1864–67. Ragnall Hall at the south end of the village is a 19th-century replacement of an early 17th-century hall, the main parts of the earlier hall surviving as barns.[1]
The village is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Ragenehil. The name is derived from two elements: one is the Old Scandinavian personal name Ragni; the other element is the Old English hyll, meaning "hill". Thus, Ragenehil represents "Hill of a man called Ragni".
The hamlet of Fledborough is one mile south of Ragnall. The Church of St Gregory at Fledborough has some 14th-century stained glass in the east window of the north aisle, restored in 1852–57.[2]
