Ely Cathedral Restored - the Choir, 1856. 'The restorations...have been going on quietly...lately, from year 1847, under the able direction of Mr. G. Gilbert Scott, the eminent architect...The entire appearance of the choir is new, so thoroughly has it been cleansed and decorated. The ceiling, with its groinings and gilded bosses, has been renewed. The old stalls have been retouched and perfected, the sub-stalls are quite new, as is also the rood-screen, seen in our View across the end of the choir. This last is a marvellous piece of work, designed by Mr. Scott, to harmonize with the stalls - it is executed, as well as the stalls, by [the eminent carver Mr. Rattere, of Cambridge]. The foliated brass work, and twisted columns to the gates, are by Hardman, of Birmingham. The organ-case is by...Rattere, and painted and gilded by Castell, of London'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
