| Ely Cathedral, West Tower (the gowned people are Open University students, whose degree ceremony was being held in the cathedral yesterday)... |
 |
| ...and with the West Tower out of the way, you can see the famous Octagon Lantern. |
 |
| Under the Lantern. Sadly, not the sharpest picture, but you can still see that that it looks spectacular. |
 |
| What a ceiling... |
 | |
| Oliver Cromwell's House (Cromwell lived here with his family between 1636 and 1647, when he wasn't busy in Parliament, or fighting the Civil War). |
 |
| The Offspring on a cannon which has nothing to do with the English Civil War... |
 |
| ... as you can tell from the Cyrillic writing... |
 |
| ... and the double-headed eagle - gotta be a Crimean War trophy. |
 |
| And finally, a panorama, featuring Ely Cathedral, St Mary's Church and Cromwell's house in one shot - click to embiggen. |
