Memorial Clock, Ramsey “Erected in 1888 as a memorial to the Rt Honorable Edward Fellowes, 1st Baron de Ramsey by his Widow and the people of Ramsey”.

The Clock was manufactured by Macfarlane & Co of Glasgow, who in the 1800s was a large Engineering Company specialising in cast iron work. The clock mechanism was at one time driven by the river flowing underneath, but it became unreliable and was changed to electric power in the 1900’s.

Ramsey Abbey Gatehouse Ramsey Abbey Gatehouse was the gatehouse to the Benedictine Ramsey Abbey in Ramsey. The gatehouse is Perpendicular Gothic and was built late in the 15th century.

In 1537 the abbey was dissolved and the Crown granted its buildings and site to Richard Williams (alias Cromwell), who used most of the buildings as a surface quarry for the Barnack stone. He had part of the gatehouse (believed to be the outer gatehouse) dismantled, moved to Hinchingbrooke House and rebuilt as its gatehouse there. The remainder of the gatehouse survives as a ruin at Ramsey and is Grade I Listed.
