The Stained Glass Museum
Recommended by
Overview
It’s fascinating to see stained glass up close. Some 800 years of stained-glass history are illustrated in this unique museum inside Ely Cathedral, displaying over 100 panels of original windows rescued from Britain and abroad. The medieval section includes important loans from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. There are also exhibits from Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, work by William Morris and John Piper, and changing exhibitions of contemporary work are held throughout the year.

About the area
To the west of East Anglia is Cambridgeshire, a county best known as the home to the university that makes up the second half of ‘Oxbridge’ (the other half is Oxford). As well as its globally renowned educational credentials, it also has a rich natural history; much of its area is made up of reclaimed or untouched fens.
