- 1. Holy Sepulchre, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England
-
-
Parish church 12thc. circular aisled nave with unlighted gallery and central ribbed dome on a lighted drum. To this is attached a rectangular two-bay aisled chancel, originally of the 13thc. The present appearance owes much to Salvin's restoration of 1841: particularly the chancel, the W doorway, the gallery capitals and the entire drum and dome of the nave, which replaced a 15thc. bell-storey. The church is built of ashlar.
- 2. Bishop's House (Monks' Kitchen), Ely, Cambridgeshire, England

House, incorporating monastic building The Bishop's House was formerly the Deanery, a house built into the former Great Hall of the monastery. Residence was transferred from the Dean to the Bishop in 1941. The oldest part of the building is its 13thc. vaulted undercroft, but the Bishop's rose garden, to the NE of the house includes the 12thc. remains of the Monks' kitchen. This is thought to have been a square structure vaulted in nine bays; the central bay, supported on four piers carrying a lantern or louvre. Most of the S and W walls survive, each with a pair of heavy vault responds carrying scallop capitals, and the remains of windows surviving between the responds.
- 3. Ely Infirmary, Ely, Cambridgeshire, England
-
-
Monastic infirmary hall and chapel The infirmary complex lies to the S of the cathedral, E of the E walk of the cloister, to which it was once connected by a vaulted passage known as the Dark Cloister. It consists of a nine-bay aisled hall running E–W, terminated by a stone screen at the E with a doorway or archway into the four-bay nave of the chapel. At the E end of this is a square-ended sanctuary vaulted in two bays. A doorway in the W bay of the chapel N nave aisle gave access to the monks' cemetery. Much of this survives, but it has been incorporated into later buildings. Except for the sanctuary of the chapel the roofs are gone, and the open passage remaining is now called Firmary Lane.
- 4. Prior's House, Ely, Cambridgeshire, England
-
-
House The 12thc. core of the building is rectangular and has a N–S axis. Of this the undercroft retains the only 12thc. work, while the hall above it (New Hall) belongs to the early 14thc. To this core were added two wings projecting to the E. The 14thc. NE wing was built to house the Treasury Chamber, probably after 1344, while the SE wing belongs to the 15thc.
