Bespoke Family History Tour of Ely Cathedral
If you can trace your family back to Ely prior to 1860 your ancestors will almost certainly have had dealings with the Cathedral and the officers of Holy Trinity Parish. This tour focuses on the relationship of the ordinary people of Ely with their Cathedral. It can be tailored, on request, to fit any eras in which you may have a particular interest. After the tour you may also like to take time to consult transcriptions of some of Holy Trinity’s records which can be made available to you on site.

Bespoke Family Connections with Former Bishops of Ely Tour
If you are the relative of a former Bishop of Ely and keen to explore further, we can tailor a tour for you. We have a wonderful array of resources available to us and as we’ll need some time to complete the necessary research, we ask for a fortnight’s notice to prepare the tour.
