General
Radnage, Radenach and Rodenache have all been applied to the village at one time or another. The name derives from the Old English readan plus æc and means ‘red oak’. Radnage has its own church but it is not found at the heart of the village, instead it sits on its own down Church Lane. Dedicated to St. Mary the church was built by the Knights Templar in the late twelfth or early thirteenth century.

Horseshoe Road
A ghostly coach and horses has been seen along the road from Radnage Bottom to Bennetts End. Radnage Bottom lies to the north of the small village of Radnage, whilst Bennetts End lies to the south. The coach’s most likely route is down Radnage Lane, along Church Lane, through the centre of Radnage then down Horseshoe Road.

Radnage Village
In the early 1900s a ghost was seen in Radnage, or so people thought. The ghost was later caught by some local lads and it turned out to be the rector’s daughter wrapped in a sheet.
