The Isle of Ely is the northern half of the geographical County of Cambridge-shire and forms in itself a separate administrative county. It is the heart of the fen country, and its population is one which long retained a degree of isolation and independence tending to preserve in its members certain mental, and perhaps physical characters peculiar to themselves. It is interesting to recall that from this neighbourhood came Boadicea, Queen of the Iceni, and Hereward the Wake, who proved such stubborn enemies to the conquerors of their country.
