A new altar for Ely Cathedral

Ely, with its robust Romanesque nave and astonishing 14th-century Octagon, is one of the jewels of European architecture.

In November 2016, the Luke Hughes team was appointed by the Dean and Chapter of Ely Cathedral to develop designs for a new altar together with a range of choir and clergy furniture.

These were to replace an earlier assortment, originally installed in the 1960s by George Pace (with additions to the choir by his assistant, Ronald Sims).

The project was funded by a generous legacy from former Bishop Peter Walker and his late wife, Jean, alongside a substantial donation from the Friends of Ely Cathedral.
