Ely Cathedral, Cambridgeshire, UK.

Beyond Bishops Garden
The detour around the right front side of the cathedral, via the Bishops Palace, and various curious buildings, all with gargoyles.

Cottages between Bishops Garden & castle-like gate, note the gargoyles near the roof   View of the castle gate from cathedral grounds side, gargoyles near top   View of the castle gate from the road side, more gargoyles near top   View of cottages between castle gate and cathedral   One of several real gargoyles on walls of cottages between castle gate and cathedral   Another of several real gargoyles on walls of cottages between castle gate and cathedral   And another of several real gargoyles on walls of cottages between castle gate and cathedral   The previous gargoyle showing how modern plumbing is sadly taking over their job  

Beyond Lady Chapel
Yet more gargoyles on cottages/tied houses.

Cottages near Lady Chapel, on way to tea shop, more gargoyles near the roof  

Old Palace
Just opposite the main door, worth a quick look.

The Old Palace opposite the cathedral main door   Closeup of almost marine-like one, what looks like genuine plumbing but being half way up the wall must be totally pointless   Another angle of the marine-like one on the Old Palace   On the opposite corner of the Old Palace   Go to top of pageTop  Go to index list of gargoyle buildingsIndex
