Abbots Ripton
Abbots Ripton is a village in Cambridgeshire. It is approximately five miles north of Huntingdon. It has a population of just 309, and covers 4,191 acres of land. The parish is part of the District of Huntingdonshire, which also contains St Ives, St Neots, Godmanchester and Ramsey.
The village was the site of the Abbots Ripton railway disaster in 1876, where a Flying Scotsman train was wrecked during a blizzard.
Abbots Ripton has a lengthy history. The Domesday book records it as Riptone, and in the 11th century it was known as Riptune. Moat Farm has trees going back to Shakespeare's era, and St. Andrew's church tower is around 400 years old. It encompassses a bell manufactured 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 badly damaged by a fire in 2010 due to embers in the chimney.
If you need a replacement boiler for your property in Abbots Ripton, ensure you get a minimum of three quotes from trusted firms before signing a contract.
