Ramsey House (Durham University)

Ramsey House is a Grade II listed building owned by St Chad's College, one of the constituent colleges of the University of Durham. Ramsey House, now used primarily for undergraduate accommodation, is named for Arthur Michael Ramsey, the 100th Archbishop of Canterbury who was once resident in Ramsey House. He was also a member of the Governing Council for the College.

For many decades, Ramsey House was the home of successive College Principals, although this tradition has been abandoned and the house given over to student accommodation. There are now seven student rooms and a self-contained flat, which is typically home to the artist-in-residence of St Chad's College. The Middle Common Room of the College is also located on the ground floor of Ramsey House.
