Founded in 969 , the abbey prospered until the Dissolution Of The Monasteries . Stone from the abbey was used to build Caius College, Cambridge , King's College, Cambridge and Trinity College, Cambridge . Today, what remains of the abbey forms part of the Abbey School. The Abbey Gatehouse (a National Trust property), the Almshouses, and the parish church can still be seen. The Ramsey Abbey School has recently amalgamated with the adjacent Ailwyn School. A new establishment "The Abbey College, Ramsey" will be operational from September 2006, leaving the previous two names defunct. |
