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. Contributed by the friends of Dean Peacock to the restoration of the Lantern 2407 0 0 Expended by the Dean and Chapter (about) 4200 0 0 It would thus appear that since the commencement of the great works in 1845 to the present time, the sum of L27,185 has been expended, of which L15,200 has been furnished by the Dean and Chapter. It ought to be added that the sum contributed by the public includes a donation of L500 by the Bishop of the Diocese, and about L1000 contributed by members of the Chapter in their individual capacity. It must be observed, however, that the sum just mentioned by no means represents all that has been done for the Cathedral. The following works and gifts are not included:-- 1. The painted windows, which have been supplied partly by individual donors, partly by a bequest of Bishop Sparke. Amongst the donors are Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Consort. To the bequest of Bishop Sparke the Cathedral is indebted for the East windows, and those in the clerestory of the Choir, and the fund is not yet exhausted. 2. The carved panels above the Stalls in the Choir, now amounting to 37, and supplied almost entirely by individual donors, at a cost of about L18 each. 3. Bishop Alcock's Chapel, restored by Jesus College, Cambridge. 4. A pinnacle at the south-east corner of the Choir, built by A.J.B. Beresford Hope, Esq. 5. The magnificent Reredos, presented by J. Dunn-Gardner, Esq. 6. The contribution of Canon E.B. Sparke towards the restoration of the south-west Transept, and that by the two Messrs. Evans to the works in the western Tower. 7. The Font, presented by Canon Selwyn. 8. The Gates of the Choir Aisles, presented by Alan Lowndes, Esq. and Dean Peacock. 9. The Brass Eagle Lectern, presented by Canon E.B. Sparke. 10. The Tombs of Bishop Allen and Dr. Mill. 11. A legacy of L100 by the late Mr. Millers, Minor Canon of the Cathedral, and a contribution of L300 by his residuary legatees, applied to the ceiling of the Nave. Neither does the sum mentioned as having been contributed by the public include a legacy of L500 from the late Miss Allen, daughter of Bishop Allen, (which has been appropriated to a new pulpit, now in progress from the designs of G.G. Scott, Esq.,) and a legacy of equal amount, from Bishop Turton, for the purpose of re-paving the Nave.
