Welcome to Ramsey
Ramsey is a village found to the East of Harwich and it's parish includes Ramsey and Parkston on the B1352 road served by the close-by A120.
The Village of Ramsey stretches from the sea to the banks of the River Stour and stands astride both of the main roads into Harwich so that all travellers by road or rail to or from the port pass by it.
Ramsey Windmill
Standing aloft upon the Hill at Ramsey and visible to the naked eye from much of the surrounding area is Ramsey Windmill. Originally built in Woodbridge, Suffolk the mill was moved to Ramsey in 1842 by Henry Collins, millwright of Woodbridge and was working through to the Second World War. Members of the Suffolk Mills Group assisted with restoration work on Ramsey Windmill between 1974 and 1978. Grade II listed and now privately owned standing adjacent to a Georgian Farmhouse the Windmill is a post mill with a three story roundhouse, winded by a roof mounted fantail (blown off in 1939!) and has four double Patent sails.
