St Thomas a Becket, Ramsey

History of St Thomas a Becket

The Church of St Thomas à Becket, Ramsey was built in the late C12 as a guest house or infirmary for Ramsey Abbey and converted to a church in C13. The church has C15, C17, C19 and C20 alterations. It is built from Barnack stone and coursed limestone rubble.

There is a tombstone to Mark True in the church with the inscription: True was killed by a murderous stroke on 22nd July 1780 at Ramsey Fair aged 27.
