Rt Hon James Ramsden 1923 - 2020

Ripon Civic Society is sad to learn of the death of James Ramsden, a Vice-President and former President of the Society. James was always very supportive of our work, and regularly came to events; two years ago he joined us to celebrate our Golden Jubilee, and we most recently saw him as we unveiled our plaque to Naomi Jacob. Others will write of his political and business career, and will acknowledge his vital mobilisation of support to preserve and enhance the Hackfall landscape; we are grateful to have known him and to have had his unstinting encouragement. We send our condolences to all his family.

Owing to Government advice on social distancing with regard to the Covid-19 epidemic our programme of events and visits is now suspended.

Take care and stay safe.
