Abbots Ripton
Abbots Ripton is a parish in Cambridgeshire. It is situated 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 includes 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 was wrecked 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 going back to Shakespeare's era, and St. Andrew's church tower is around 400 years old. It houses a bell made in 1400 and another from 1671. The nave, aisle and porch of the church are even older, dating back to the 13th century.
The village is home to a 17th-century pub, the Three Horseshoes, which was seriously damaged by a fire in 2010 created by embers in the chimney.
If you need a replacement boiler for your home in Abbots Ripton, ensure you get a minimum of three quotes from trusted engineers before signing a contract.
