Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Small-scale investigations in and around Ely Cathedral have provided insights into the development of the area. There is evidence of Late Iron Age and Roman settlement at Walsingham House and the Lady Chapel. The earliest evidence that might relate to the medieval religious community is a Middle Saxon pit at the Lady Chapel. Late Saxon activity is represented by buildings and other features, including a charnel pit at the Lady Chapel and evidence of substantial structures at the Bishop's Garden. Following the foundation of the cathedral, there is evidence for a twelfth-century cemetery at the Lady Chapel. This was followed by a thirteenth-century passage linking the Presbytery to a building or gate lying to the north. In the fourteenth century, this passage was rebuilt and linked to the North Choir and the Lady Chapel. At the Old Bishop's Palace there is evidence of an earlier substantial thirteenth- and fourteenth-century stone building that might be the `Abbot's House' and a fourteenth-century cemetery. | |||||||||||||||||||
