In 2023 we celebrated the remarkable life of our founding saint and Saxon Queen, St Etheldreda who in AD 673 founded a monastery in Ely, the very beginning of the Cathedral’s rich history.
Our experienced guides developed a new, hour-long tour around the Cathedral, which takes you on a journey through her incredible life and legacy.
The tour is only available on Tuesdays so please enjoy the opportunity to learn more about the influence of this incredible woman in stunning surroundings.
