Bishop's Walk from Ely to Cambridge
27th September 2009

On Sunday 27th September, to acknowledge the 900th birthday of the Diocese of Ely and 800 years of the University of Cambridge and to commemorate the lasting relationship of the Bishops of Ely and the University, Bishop Anthony walked from Ely to Cambridge alongside the river.

He followed the Fen Rivers Way along the east side of the Great Ouse and Cam Rivers from Ely to Clayhithe Bridge and then the west side where he met up with Professor Alison Richard, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, at Chesterton. They walked together from there to Jesus Green in Cambridge, where they took a short punt ride along the Cam to Peterhouse Chapel which hosted a special service honouring the occasion.
