The expense of the restoration of the Cathedral cannot be given with perfect accuracy, but the account which is here subjoined will be near enough for all practical purposes. GENERAL RESTORATION. L _s._ _d._ Contributed by the public to the "Ely Cathedral Restoration Fund" 9578 0 0 Expended by the Dean and Chapter (about) 11,000 0 0 PEACOCK MEMORIAL.

The Font, presented by Canon Selwyn. 8. Th
