According to recent archaeological research Cathedral House stands on the site of the Saxon market place.
After the Cathedral was built (1080 -1200) the land was within the monastery precincts and part of the grounds surrounding The Chantry, and remained so until 1850, when the property was sold to Dr. Muriel.
The house itself was built for Dr. Muriel's son*, also a Doctor.
Unfortunately he died prematurely and it went into the ownership of George Comins, an auctioneer, who lived in the house and operated his business from the premises.

I must first apologize for not writing sooner but somehow the time has totally gotten away from me since arriving home three weeks ago.
I just wanted to thank you both for helping to make our stay in Ely so delightful and comfortable.
Your hospitality and graciousness was simply wonderful, especially sharing drinks in your home as well as the garden.
As interesting and fun as it is to see the sights it is equally enjoyable to have a little time to meet and talk to people from the area.
The Coach Home is a wonderful self catering accommodation.
