Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Ramsey is a small Cambridgeshire market town, north of Huntingdon and St Ives. For local government purposes it lies in the district of Huntingdonshire within the local government county of Cambridgeshire. The town manor is built on the site of (and using materials from) the ancient abbey, and is the seat of the Lords de Ramsey, one of the major landowners in Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire.
The remains of the Abbey are now home to part of the town's secondary school. Abbey College, Ramsey resulted from the amalagmation of the previous two secondary schools, Ailwyn School and Ramsey Abbey School, and caters for Years 7-13 which represents Years 7-9 (Key Stage 3), Years 10-11 (GCSE level) and Years 12-13 (A Level) (Key Stages 4 and 5). It currently has about 1800 students.

Every year, over the August Bank Holiday weekend, the town is home to Ramsey 1940s Weekend, one of Britain's biggest living history events. The event, held at nearby RAF Upwood, is dedicated to recreating the sights and sounds of the 1940s and is held in aid of several local charities, resulting in it being rewarded with a tourism award. The event features living history re-enactors, period dancing, food, exhibitions and trade stands.

Original historical documents relating to Ramsey, including the original church parish registers, local government records, maps, photographs, and records of Ramsey manor (held by the Fellowes family, Lords de Ramsey), are held by Cambridgeshire Archives and Local Studies at the County Record Office Huntingdon.
