Ely, also known as the Isle of Ely, consisted historically of three ecclesiastical parishes:


ELY, a '''city''', and the head of a union, in the Isle of Ely, county of Cambridge, 16 miles (N. N. E.) from Cambridge, and 67 (N. by E.) from London. At the dissolution of the monastery, which was dedicated to St. Peter and St. Ethelreda, Henry VIII. altered the ecclesiastical establishment of the See, and by charter converted the conventual into a cathedral church, which was dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The '''Cathedral''', begun in 1081, and not completed till 1534, is a splendid cruciform structure. The city, exclusively of the extra-parochial liberty of the College, comprises the '''parish '''of '''St. Mary''', which, with the '''chapelry''' of '''Chettisham''',and the '''parish '''of '''Holy Trinity''', which, with the '''chapelry '''of '''Stuntney'''.
