Work on the present building started in the 11th Century and the Monastic Church became a Cathedral in 1109. It's a vast, impressive building and the small town of Ely gradually grew up around it. The splendid Octagon Lantern Tower where this panorama was taken is a star attraction. On a previous visit, a few years ago, the floor directly below it was clear, which enabled a camera to be ideally positioned, but alas, that area is presently occupied and roped off to visitors, as can be seen in the panorama. Hence the slightly offset position.
