Ryhall is a small village in the county of Rutland, England. Located close to the eastern boundary of the county, about 4 miles north of Stamford. It is bounded to its west by the A6121 main road from Stamford to Bourne and on the other three sides by the River Gwash , although some development has spilled over the river to the north and out along the Essendine road.
Ryhall has a Church of England Primary School, with an attendance, in 2003, of 170 pupils aged 4 to 11.
There is an early 13th century village church, St John the Evangelist. The exterior has a number of interesting carved figures. The southern entrance has a porch with a room over it, originally for the priest, now called the Parvis Room. It is built on the site where St Tibba, a 7th century nun, is believed to have lived.
The village also has a Methodist Chapel, and two pubs, The Millstone Inn and The Green Dragon.
There is a general store and sub-post office, and a butchers shop.
