Ely is a city well known for its cathedral and monastic precinct, but the rest of the settlement has been relatively little studied. This paper outlines the Historic England project that was undertaken in the city between 2014 and 2016. The project focused on the fragmentary remains of buildings surviving in the secular parts of the city, looking at the development of the city as a whole through the investigation and survey of a sample of buildings. This study has revealed that hidden behind many of the later façades in the city are buildings reflecting the history of Ely from the medieval period onwards. The results have been used to analyse the distinctive urban topography of the city. They were also used to consider the form and function of the buildings and how they responded to the specific circumstances of Ely’s development, under the auspices of the church. The paper represents extracts from the more detailed report which has been published as a Historic England Research Report.

历史城镇的早期织物：剑桥郡伊利

伊利是一座以其大教堂和修道院区而闻名的城市，但对其他定居点的研究相对较少。本文概述了 2014 年至 2016 年在该市开展的历史英格兰项目。该项目重点关注该市世俗部分幸存下来的建筑的零碎遗迹，通过调查和研究从整体上审视该市的发展。对建筑物样本进行调查。这项研究表明，隐藏在这座城市许多后来的外墙后面的是反映伊利从中世纪开始的历史的建筑。研究结果已用于分析该市独特的城市地形。它们也被用来考虑建筑物的形式和功能，以及它们如何应对伊利发展的具体情况，在教会的主持下。该论文代表了更详细的报告的摘录，该报告已作为历史英格兰研究报告发表。
