Ramsden attended Birkenhead School[3] and University College London, graduating BSc in 1974.[2] He trained for ordination at the College of the Resurrection, Mirfield, and was ordained deacon in 1977 and priest in 1978.[2]
Ramsden served his title at St Michael and All Angels' Church, Houghton-le-Spring (1977–80) and a second curacy at All Saints and St Mary with St Martin, South Shields, (1980–83).[2] He then served in Papua New Guinea, in the Diocese of Aipo Rongo (1983–90),[4] returning to England to be priest-in-charge of St Mary the Virgin, Micklefield (1990–93), and again in Papua New Guinea (1993–96).[2] He returned to England once more, as Vicar of St Bartholomew's Church, Long Benton, (1996-2007),[2] before being announced in 2006 as the next Bishop of Port Moresby, in succession to Peter Fox.[5]
Ramsden retired in 2014 and the following year was appointed an honorary assistant bishop in the Diocese of Carlisle.[2] [1]
