This website was created by Clive Beeke (1945-2024). He was born in Huntingdon and moved to Ramsey when he married a local girl. Clive was an electrician. After contracting on large building sites for a number of years, he established his own electrical business that served the Ramsey area. He was always a keen reader, and history interested him greatly. Ramsey, with its lost Benedictine Abbey and Victorian river tunnels, supplied him with a huge amount to get excited about. And he did! He wanted to share his knowledge with others, and being keen on computers he chose to learn how to create websites. This is one of two websites he researched and built on Ramsey Abbey (2006), and the Ramsey tunnels (2019). In later life he was in great demand to give talks on both subjects to local groups, and he wrote a book on the tunnels. But the websites came first, and he was very proud of them. We are grateful for the support of Ramsey Rural Museum, which is now custodian of the websites so they can live on. The websites are a tribute to the husband and father we loved dearly.
