Aileen Sharp, Tourism Development Officer at East Cambridgeshire District Council, said: "Visitors to Ely this Easter have learnt about how Easter was celebrated by the Cromwells and how life changed under the rule of the Lord Protector. We have now organised a number of our guided walks so people can see some of the hidden treasures of Ely as well as find out more about some of our historic buildings. As always, there is a lot to do on a visit to Ely and we look forward to welcoming many visitors to our wonderful city this Easter."
