Abbots Ripton
Abbots Ripton is a village 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 situated in the District of Huntingdonshire, which also includes 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 long history. The Domesday book records it as Riptone, and in the 11th century it was called Riptune. Moat Farm has trees as old as Shakespeare's era, and St. Andrew's church tower is around 400 years old. It holds a bell made in 1400 and another from 1671. The nave, aisle and porch of the church are even older, erected in the 13th century.
The village has 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 home in Abbots Ripton, make sure you get no less than three quotations from reliable installers before signing a contract.
