		By the time the Ramsey Abbey Censer was made many great churches, such as old St Paul's in London, had massive censers suspended from the church vault which could swing almost the entire length of the nave and required the strength of five or six men to move them.

		The abbots of Ramsey, particularly through the middle years of the fourteenth century, were frequently called upon to entertain royalty and once played host to the ill-fated daughter of Edward III, the Princess Joan, one of the early victims of the plague.

		In a vividly detailed study of the small English market town of Ramsey, the authors examine the inner life of this fascinating community from the twelfth century to the end of the sixteenth century.
		In consulting a rich and varied collection of archives from both the town and abbey, the authors have ably produced one of the most comprehensive and multi-layered portraits of everyday living in medieval and early modern England.
		The people of Ramsey included clerics, knights, and laborers, and their activities overlapped to the point that the infamous tripartite division of medieval society - into those who prayed, fought, and worked - becomes meaningless.

		The CD is the culmination of a community based project based on the medieval abbey at Ramsey in Cambridgeshire, England.
		According to the sleeve of the CD the project was paid for by a Royal Society and British Association Millennium Award, which was funded by the Millennium Commission to 'encourage people's understanding of science, engineering and technology in the community'.
		The conclusions of the project are rewarding in that the evidence has suggested that while one of the models for the abbey can be refuted, the other has to be refined.

	Abbos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		He became master of the monastic school at Fleury, but, apparently disappointed by the selection of another to be abbot (Mostert 1986), he accepted an invitation to teach at the recently established abbey of Ramsey; he remained in England from late 985 to the autumn of 987.
		Abbo's poem on Ramsey Abbey is incorporated into chapter 3 of BYRHTFERTH's Vita Oswaldi, as preserved in the London manuscript, from which it was printed by Raine (RS 71/1.431-32).
		Lapidge and Baker (1997 p 9) argue that the manuscript was "compiled for Abbo's use at Fleury and subsequently taken by him to Ramsey." Because of some metrical awkwardness, they conclude that the poems are the work of "a less proficient follower" of Abbo (p 10).
