The site was acquired in 1907 and building began in 1909, with the original building being designed by Francis William Troup. The facility opened in 1912 as Rampton Criminal Lunatic Asylum.

Rampton, Cambridgeshire
Rampton is a village in Cambridgeshire, England, situated on the edge of The Fens six miles to the north of Cambridge.

Construction of the castle began during The Anarchy circa 1140, but was likely never completed. Rampton has always been one of the smallest of the area's villages along the edge of the Fens.
