Description

The Isle of Ely holds secrets beyond its majestic Norman Cathedral. This book uncovers the hidden history of life in Ely and its surrounding villages, from ancient Neolithic burials to Iron Age bog bodies.

Recent archaeological excavations have shed new light on the area's past, including a monumental Neolithic burial chamber and Early Bronze Age burials. The latest research on later Bronze Age hoards and Iron Age finds highlight the importance of Ely in British archaeology.

The story of Ely's history extends into the 20th century, with tales of wartime life and the city's role in its past. This book brings together a wealth of new information, presented alongside vivid illustrations from recent excavations.
