Storytelling by Elizabeth Stazicker

In July 2024, Elizabeth Stazicker told the tale of the Fenland Princess, St. Etheldreda, founder of the monastic community on which Ely Cathedral is based. Elizabeth is the Honorary Archivist to the Cathedral and was part of the team who studied the story’s sources for the 2023 anniversary. After the dramatic storytelling, there was a lively Q and A and discussion of the themes raised in the story. The pleasant community room of Little St. Mary’s Church proved an ideal setting to be told a story on a summer evening as birdsong drifted in from the garden.
