Welcome to Abbots Ripton and Wennington
Bird's eye view of part of the village of Abbots Ripton
The village and parish of Abbots Ripton and Wennington in Huntingdonshire.Abbots Ripton and Wennington is one of the parishes of the District of Huntingdonshire, whose administrative centre is Huntingdon, the other principle towns being St Ives home of the Chapel on the Bridge, St Neots the largest town in the County of Cambridgeshire, the Roman town of Godmanchester and Ramsey site of the former Abbey. Moat Farm in Abbots Ripton has timbers dating from Shakespeare's day and an ancient gargoyle watching all who pass. There are charming 16th and 17th century cottages by the church. The church tower, about 400 years old, looks down on a nave, aisle and porch of the 13th century, and has a bell which was ringing over the fields long before the current tower was built, for it was made in about 1400, another being dated 1671. There is a font with carving of the 15th century, a 13th century piscina, an Elizabethan altar table, and a window glowing with shields in fragments of 15th century glass, but perhaps the best possession is a group of figures looking down on the chancel, six men and women who have been holding up the beams of Abbots Ripton church since the 15th century and four more on the splendid timbers.
