Summary "Ely Cathedral" by Anonymous is a comprehensive guidebook detailing the architectural and historical significance of Ely Cathedral, probably written in the late 19th century. The text serves as an informative companion for visitors, exploring various aspects of the Cathedral's design, restorations, and the history of its founding by St. Etheldreda. The book not only delves into architectural styles but also reviews the importance of Ely Cathedral within the context of English ecclesiastical history. At the start of "Ely Cathedral," the reader is introduced to the significant historical background of the monastery that led to the Cathedral's construction. It discusses the introduction of Christianity to East Anglia and focuses on St. Etheldreda, the influential figure in the founding of the monastery, who later became the first abbess. The compiler outlines Etheldreda's life and her dedication to religious service, as well as the transitional history of the monastery and its eventual evolution into a Cathedral. This opening section establishes a foundational understanding of the site’s historical and religious significance, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of its architecture, artistic elements, and the various renovations undertaken throughout the centuries.
