This picture shows a tortoise stove in Ely Cathedral. Believe me they are welcome in winter when the cold winds from Siberia blow directly towards Ely Cathedral in the heart of the Fens in England. I lived in Ely for two years back in the 1970’s and almost every day I would walk towards and into the cathedral for a warm-up or a cool down depending on the time of the year.
You can read the history of Ely Cathedral here. It has a truly fascinating history.
One of my ambitions has been to visit all the cathedrals in England. I’m achieving the goal slowly!
I’d l’d like to show you more of the cathedral so I’ve inserted a slideshow (hopefully) so you can see the wonderful octagon which is self-supporting and made entirely of wood.
Enjoy the slideshow.
Do you have any ambitions like this? to visit special places.
