About

Ely Cathedral demands interpretation. Why was it built on an island in the watery fens and why is it so large and elaborate? Is the Octagon simply a splendid piece of architectural design or does it have a deeper meaning? Why is there such a large and elaborate Lady Chapel? Are the carved beasts and grotesques just products of the masons' playful fancy?
