Ramsey Rural Museum is an independent museum set in a peaceful rural location on the edge of the market town of Ramsey in Cambridgeshire. There main focus is the working and social history of Ramsey and the surrounding area of Cambridgeshire, concentrating on the period 1800 to 2000 AD.
The Museum was the brainchild of the Reverend Robert Gwynn, curate of Upwood, a small village four miles from Ramsey. He, together with the vicar of Ramsey, the Reverend Jones, and a local farmer, Marshal Papworth, took a group of Sunday School children to a private agricultural Museum at Haddenham, Cambridgeshire.
They were very impressed by the number of items and variety of the collection and the fact that everything had a local origin. They realised that there must be a wealth of historic items, especially those peculiar to the Fens, lying around in fields, barns and houses in the Ramsey area and that unless something was done much of the area’s local history could be lost forever.
