Ramsey, Huntingdonshire

Ramsey is a small market town in Huntingdonshire. The town was the site of a wealthy abbey from Anglo-Saxon days until the Reformation. The town's manor house, still known as Ramsey Abbey, is built on the site of the old Abbey. The High Street is a busy, narrow street of shops, but the town opens out in Great Whyte, a very broad street reaching from the High Street out toward the fen edge. The town is within the council area of Huntingdonshire (Cambridgeshire).
