Description Leofwine 77 enlarged the walls of the church of Ely, and built them at a wider distance away to the south and he brought them to a state of completeness at his own expense, in which they were united with the rest of the building. He also made in one porticus an altar to honour the most blessed Mother of God and, above it, a throne the height of a man, on which was seen a statue of Mary holding her son in her lap, made of gold and silver and jewels.
