Description
A look up at the ceiling of Ely cathedral in Cambridgeshire, England.
The medieval Church used to think of itself as the vessel in which the faithful could journey safely to God, and Ely Cathedral is known as the 'Ship of the Fens'.
Ely is the fourth longest of the English cathedrals at 537 feet. The Cathedral was built in a small remote settlement which was a typical place to build monasteries. The small town of Ely grew up around the settlement. The cathedral's size ad beauty were thought to reflect the power of the Norman conquerors, the wealth and prestige of the monastic community and the glory of God.
