Description: | St Mary's Church was built bewteen 1197 and 1215 by Bishop Eustace on the site of an earlier church beside the cathedral. The building contains a mixture of Norman and Early English (1175-1275) features and a western tower with a hexagonal spire from the Decorated period (14th century). On the south-west buttress of the tower is a tablet which records the burial of five local men, executed in 1816 at Ely for taking part in robberies during riots in May of that year. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Buckler, John Chessell | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
