1063

Taken @ Ely Cathedral in 2014

The cathedral has its origins in AD 672 when St Etheldreda built an abbey church. The present building dates back to 1083, and cathedral status was granted it in 1109.

I prefer the ruins of those abbeys that were sacked - it is a summer hobby visiting ruined ancient and taking tons of piccis - but I love this one, so ethereal
