Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) ELY CATHEDRAL.The old "Isle of Ely" still stands a hundred feet above the Ouse and the general level of the Fens; and on its highest point, clear above the little town, stands the cathedral, clearly visible from Cambridge, twenty miles off. Two Saxon buildings preceded that erected by successive Norman bishops, after that Saxon rebellion under Hereward which made its last stand at Ely Island. The present cathedral is unique for its length-565 feet—which exceeds that of any other in Europe; and also for its grand and original octagonal central tower, the work of Alan of Walsingham, who substituted it for the heavy square one which had fallen in ruins precisely as that of Chichester did in 1861. The Lady Chapel is also of unusual beauty and size; it is now used as a parish church.
