Only 250yds from the Cathedral, the building of the present church was begun in the early 13th century with a fine north doorway. The stone spire was added a century later. Look for the memorial to the Littleport Martyrs on the south side of the tower; they were hanged in Ely in 1816 for their part in the protests about the poor economic conditions after the Napoleonic wars.
