RAMSEY or RAMSAY, a market-town of England, county of Huntingdon, on a tongue of high land stretching into the fens near Ramsey Mere, a lake now partially drained, 12 miles N.N.E. of Huntingdon and 69 N. of London. It consists of two streets crossing at right angles, and has a small stream running through the middle of it. Most of the houses are old and built of brick, but many elegant ones have recently been erected. A fine old church, partially exhibiting the transition from the Norman to the early English architecture, is the chief ornament of the town, and is conspicuous for its embattled tower. A ruinous but richly-sculptured gateway is the only remnant of a once famous and wealthy abbey. Places of worship for various denominations, several schools, and a literary institution, are to be found here. The people are mostly engaged in farming. Pop. 4615.
