Built by William the Conqueror as a prominent
outpost after the bloody and lengthy rebellion by
Hereward the Wake, Ely Cathedral stands as a fine
example of William's devotion to his Religion.
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..!
