Ely Cathedral

The painted celing you see on this shot actually dates from the 1860's. It was painted by two artists Henry Styleman Le Strange who died in 1862 having only completed half the celing. The second part was completed by Thomas Gabier Parry (who is also known for his work at Gloucester Cathedral amongst others) at the request of the then Dean & Chapter..

 

Not many opportunities to take photos within such buildings, and quite late in the day so not too many folks around.
