This was the gatehouse to the Benedictine Abbey in Ramsey. In 1537 the abbey was dissolved and the Crown granted its buildings and site to Richard Williams, who 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 Grade 1 listed ruin here on Abbey Green. An ornate carved exterior with a beautiful oriel window is all that survives of the gatehouse. In 1952 Ailwyn Fellowes, 3rd Baron de Ramsey, gave the gatehouse to the National Trust in memory of his sister Diana Broughton.
This is a virtual cache so there is no container to find and no log to sign. To claim a find you simply have to go to the coordinates given and take your own personal photo of the gatehouse.
It should include a part of you but it's up to you how much of you is in the photo. Selfies would be great, but if you're camera shy then just your hand or your GPS, or even a note with your caching name on, whatever you are comfortable with, that proves you were there.
Entries without a photo will be deleted.
