Ely, also known as the Isle of Ely, consisted historically of three ecclesiastical parishes: | |||
*The Cathedral | |||
*Holy Trinity | |||
*St Mary | |||
It also consisted of lands outside of the city and attached to Trinity and Mary parishes. It was called the Isle of Ely because the city sat atop high ground surrounded by marshes that were later drained. | |||
