Ramsey

Ramsey is an administrative division in Huntingdonshire that encompasses multiple settlements including Ramsey Forty Foot, Ramsey Heights, Ramsey Mereside, and Ramsey St Mary's. Each settlement within the area maintains its own distinct character while contributing to the broader local community.

The area traces its origins to a Benedictine monastery that historically ranked third in parliamentary precedence after Glastonbury and St Albans. This religious foundation shaped the region's development through centuries of change.

The town council of Ramsey manages local governance while preserving connections to traditional English administrative practices within the Huntingdonshire district.

The area sits within East England and is accessible by car or public transport connections to the region. Various local services and facilities are distributed across the different settlements within the division.

In 2011, Ramsey made British political history by becoming the first town council in the United Kingdom under UK Independence Party control.
