Ramsey

Ramsey is a small historical market-town within the United Kingdom of Great Britain in the district of Huntingdonshire and the county of Cambridgeshire. Before the fens were drained, Ramsey was an island in the Fens. The Main Street in Ramsey is the Great Whyte which extends right down to The Mere. The Mere used to supply the town with eels, fish and fowl and a means of transport.

 

The town of Ramsey was built up around the gate of Ramsey Abbey. The Abbey was run by the Abbot, who in the early years also controlled most of what went on in the Town. Ramsey was visited by King Edward III with his mother and Roger Mortimer. The people of Ramsey accused the Abbots of taking a large amount of the Hugh le Despenser Treasury. The Abbots appealed to the Bishop of Ely for support against the charges. This could be one of the reasons for the omission of Ramsey in the Doomsday Book.

When the Abbey was seized by Henry VIII it was purchased by the Lord and Lady De Ramsey who made it their home. In the 18th Century Ramsey Abbey became a grammar school. After that at the end of the 19th century it became a public school. It is now an Information Communication Technology Collage. Ramsey Ailwyn is the Secondary School in Ramsey and both schools are linked with the movement of students between the two.
