Ramsbury history

---

Domesday Book of 1086 recorded a large settlement of 156 households at Ramesberie. Between 1942 and 1946, during World War II, there was a Royal Air Force airfield known as RAF Ramsbury.

Fairs

Ramsbury traditionally held two annual fairs – a livestock fair in the spring, and a hiring fair or Mop fair at Michaelmas. By the 19th century, both fairs had become cattle fairs. The spring cattle fair (traditionally held on 14 May) ceased in 1939. The Michaelmas fair slowly lost its original agricultural connections, becoming purely a funfair in 1946.

Ramsbury Building Society

The Provident Union Investment Society was founded in Ramsbury 1846. It was headquartered in the Square until 1982 and took as its logo the ancient wych-elm. Subsequent mergers saw the building society being subsumed into the Regency and West of England Building Society, then the Portman Building Society and the Nationwide Building Society.
