Day trip by train - to historic Ely!
King's Cross Railway Station (on the concourse - outside the ticket office), King's Cross, London, al, GBCome along on Saturday 25th July for a day trip by train to historic Ely!
About the city
Ely is a cathedral city, set in the Fens, about 14 miles north east of Cambridge. An abbey was built here in AD 673 and in 1083 the current cathedral was built (with modifications between 1322-28 when the octagon was built). The cathedral is one of England's most beautiful and largest. It is known locally as the 'ship of the fens'.Ely's most famous historical resident was Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658), who was Lord Protector after the English Civil War when Britain was a republic (1649-1660). He started out as a local tax collector, or 'Farmer of the Tithes', for the local parishes. It was up to Cromwell to ensure that all the local taxes - including money, wheat and straw - were delivered to the Dean of the Cathedral. He was permitted to keep any excess collected and soon became a man of property and quite considerable local status. His house still stands, which is now a museum.
We will be having a guided tour of the cathedral, a costumed guided tour of Cromwell's house and a visit to the local city museum.
