 St.
Mary's Church, Ely
The church
of St. Mary's was built in the early 13th century, though the tower
was added during the 14th century. The church stands just a few hundred
yards away from the cathedral, and in fact, St. Mary's is known to
have been built by order of Bishop Eustace of Ely.
The design
retains good examples of Norman work, particularly around the north
door. Much of the stained glass is of modern vintage, as is the peal
of 8 bells in the Decorated period tower. The interior has low, pointed
arches supported on simple, smooth, columns. In fact, most of the
interior ontains little decoration, and the effect is subdued.
The former
vicarage of the church is known as Oliver cromweell's House, as the
Cromwell family lived there for 11 years beginning in 1636. Cromwell's
youngest daughter was baptised in the church in 1638.
