Excerpt from The Antiquarian Itinerary, Vol. 4: Comprising Specimens of Architecture The city of Ely is situated on a considerable eminence in the Isle of Ely, which, strictly speaking, is that large tract of high land encompassed with fens that were formerly overflowed with water, of which Ely is the principal place, and gives name to the whole, in which are included also, the villages of Stretbam and Thetford, Wilburton, Hadenham, Sutton, Mepal, Witcbam, Wentforth, Which ford, Downbam, and Chetisbam, making collectively but one island. Littleport, Coveney, and Stuntney, though sometimes reckoned part of it, were, in their original state, disjoined by small intervals of fenny ground, and therefore were distinct islands of themselves.
