Ely Cathedral, also known as 'The Ship of the Fens.' located in the city of Ely in Cambridgeshire, England, is one of the most magnificent and historically significant cathedrals in the country.

Ely Cathedral was originally founded as an abbey in 673 by St. Etheldreda, a Saxon princess. The present building dates back to 1083 and became a Cathedral in 1109.
One of its most remarkable features is the octagon tower, constructed in the 14th century after the collapse of the original Norman tower.

The nave is one of the longest of any British cathedral, providing an impressive sight upon entering.
The Lady Chapel, completed in 1349, is the largest chapel of its kind in any British cathedral and is renowned for its exquisite carvings.

I need to head back with a better camera, also the Choir and Presbytery area was off limits due to a wedding taking place on the day.
