Ely (c-enEn-uk-Ely is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, England. It is 14 miles (23 km) north-northeast of Cambridge. Ely was for a long time informally considered to be a "city" by virtue of being the seat of a diocese. In 1974 the status was confirmed by Royal charter on the parish council of the successor parish to Ely Urban District. With a population of 15,102 in 2001, Ely is the third smallest city in England. |
