Abbots Ripton
Abbots Ripton is a parish in Cambridgeshire. It lies five miles north of Huntingdon. It has a population of just 309, and covers 4,191 acres of land. The parish is in the District of Huntingdonshire, which also consists of St Ives, St Neots, Godmanchester and Ramsey.
The village is known as the site of the Abbots Ripton railway disaster in 1876, where a Flying Scotsman train crashed during a blizzard.
Abbots Ripton has a long history. The Domesday book names it Riptone, and in the 11th century it was named Riptune. Moat Farm has trees dating back to Shakespeare's era, and St. Andrew's church tower is approximately 400 years old. It includes a bell manufactured in 1400 and another from 1671. The nave, aisle and porch of the church are even older, built in the 13th century.
The village is home to a 17th-century pub, the Three Horseshoes, which was severely damaged by a fire in 2010 created by embers in the chimney.
If you need a new boiler for your property in Abbots Ripton, make sure you get a minimum of three quotes from reputable companies before deciding.
