Ely
Cathedral CB7
4DL
Built
by William the Conqueror as a prominent outpost after
the bloody and lengthy rebellion by Hereward he Wake,
Ely Cathedral stands as a fine example of William's devotion
to his Religion and to his overwhelming victory for the
Heart's and Minds of that mixed of all races called the
britons.
Less well known is that "The Lord Protector",
OLIVER CROMWELL closed the Cathedral for 10 years, or
thereabouts, due to a falling out with the local (Catholic)
Clergy. Cromwell used it as a stable for his Calvary Horses!
