A very small settlement
With a population of only around 75, Ramsdell is one of the smallest places in this cluster, and its handful of houses cluster mainly around the church and crossroads rather than spreading across a wider area.
Neighbouring Charter Alley
Charter Alley sits only about half a mile up the road from Ramsdell, and the two are often thought of together despite being separate settlements — useful context for an installer working across both in the same visit.
