St Etheldreda's Church, Ely, Catholic church and shrine in Ely, England

The Gothic Revival church building features elevated sanctuary, two aisles, and stained glass windows depicting saints including St Peter and St Pius X.

The church building opened on October 17, 1903, designed by architect Simon Croot and constructed for 2,600 pounds, receiving consecration in May 1987.

The shrine preserves the left hand of St Etheldreda, an Anglo-Saxon queen and abbess, discovered in Sussex in 1811 and donated in 1953.

Located at 19 Egremont Street in Ely, the church opens thirty minutes before Mass times and remains accessible throughout regular daytime hours.

During World War II, the church provided religious services to Italian and German prisoners of war who were held in the area.
