In my attempt to impose a bit of rationality on the strange itinerary seemingly devised by the late Canon Stevenson and also to include additional shrines as we reached Thetford earlier the next stop is Ely cathedral, that great ship of the Fens sailing ever onward through time and drawing people towards the Isle it crowns.

As I wrote previously this is not, for some reason, one of the Marian shrines on the original list but I am including it here and would direct readers to my post from last year which can be read at Our Lady of Ely

In that post I gave my view of the ghastly figure of the Virgin that has been installed above the altar in recent years. Preparing this post I was somewhat taken aback, though equally somehow not surprised, to find that the Dean and Chapter let the Lady Chapel out for dinners - if readers are up to such a frisson of horror look at this commercial website: Catering at Ely Cathedral
