*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Ely was built around its cathedral, the first abbey founded by the Anglo Saxons on an island in the Fens. Ely was a center of resistance against the Norman invaders, including legendary Hereward the Wake, but when Ely was retaken by the Normans they built the magnificent cathedral that dominates the landscape today. The monastery was one of the richest in the country and brought prosperity to the region and the city was also the center of the traditional Fenland economy, but the area went into decline following the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the drainage of the Fens. Ely has grown again in recent times and today the city happily combines its historic fabric with the life of a vibrant, growing city. A-Z of Ely is a readable history that reveals the stories behind the Fenland city of Ely, its streets, buildings, and people and how its residents and visitors have shaped the Ely of today, This fascinating A-Z tour of Ely’s history is fully illustrated with photography and will appeal to all those with an interest in this distinctive city in Cambridgeshire.
