About Ramsden

 

The Oxfordshire village of Ramsden lies on the north-eastern fringes of the Cotswolds, four miles north of Witney and fifteen miles north-west of Oxford.

 

Ramsden once lay deep within the ancient royal hunting forest of Wychwood.  Here, a small settlement grew up adjacent to Akeman Street – The Roman road linking Cirencester with St. Albans – and was probably among the first parts of Wychwood Forest to be cleared for the purposes of settlement.

 

The ‘den’ of Ramsden is a corruption of ‘dene’, meaning wooded valley, while the ‘Ram’ prefix may derive from ‘hramsu’, or wild garlic: hence ‘wild garlic valley’.

 

Ramsden lies in a shallow valley - Its hidden setting provides a sense of tranquillity and self-containment that has characterised the village for centuries.
