Description:Excerpt from Ely; St. Etheldreda and Ely Cathedral: Written for the Cambridge Church Congress Her work did not cease with her death. She had founded wisely, and Sexburga and others whom she had trained carried it on in her spirit. The house grew and prospered, ever more and more increasing in fervour from the regular discipline and order of the monastery. Two centuries later came the end of St. Etheldreda's foundation. The fury of the Northmen, from which the Litany of that time besought God that the land might be protected, burst upon East Anglia, and before the tide of that terrible tempest convents and churches were swept away, and Christians were put to the sword. When another century had passed, St. Dunstan came to Ely to in augurate the Benedictine house which had arisen upon the ruins of St. Etheldreda's foundation - that abbey, which all through the Middle Ages was to be the jealous guardian of her shrine, and to which the fame of her sanctity was to bring great wealth and power. To St. Etheldreda the great minster owes its origin and its glory. No trace remains of the little convent church in which she worshipped. But where she prayed and taught her nuns there rise the solemn Norman work of Abbot Simeon. The Early English presbytery of Hugh de Northwold, the exquisite, soaring octagon and lantern of Alan of Walsingham, the Flower of Craftsmen, as his contemporaries called him, and as we, too, may call him, to whose work on the cathedral and in the little chapel of Prior Crauden and in the Lady Chapel - even in its mutilation incomparably beautiful we owe some of the loveliest detail in the world.
