Reginald Ely
Reginald Ely or Reynold of Ely (
Perpendicular style which characterized the 14th–17th centuries of English Gothic architecture.[1]
Reginald's career is first attested in 1438 during his work at
college library and possibly for part of the kitchen-wing of the great hall.[1] He may also be responsible for the parish church of Burwell, Cambridgeshire (1454–64) and after 1446 for Queens' College, Cambridge.[1]
He was most likely the architect of the
elevations.[1] The original plans called for lierne vaulting, and the piers of the choir were built to conform with them.[1] Ultimately, a complex fan vault was constructed instead. Reginald probably designed the window at the extreme east of the church's north side: the east window of the easternmost subsidiary chapel, which unlike the Perpendicular style of the others is in curvilinear Gothic style.[1]
