The concept of creating a museum in Ramsey was first considered by Rev. Robert Gwynn, in 1977, then the curate of Upwood church. In September of that year, a number of businessmen, farmers and local people formed the first committee to investigate the possibility of establishing a museum in Ramsey. They were able to solicit the interest and assistance of the then Hon. John Fellowes, now Lord De Ramsey, through whom the museum was sited in its present position, on the land which is part of the Fellowes estate. All the stone buildings are believed to have been built about 1670 from stone originally used for the building of Ramsey Abbey. They were built as farm buildings but subsequently used as workshops and material stores for the maintenance of the Estate buildings and equipment. The wooden buildings were originally the farm buildings on Whitehall Farm at Upwood. They were carefully dismantled and reconstructed on the site. All the exhibits have been graciously donated by numerous people and the running of the museum is done by enthusiasts and volunteers who give their time willingly.
