The Cathedral City of Ely in Cambridgeshire, England

The Columnists

Who the hell is Charlotte Cairns?

I moved to Ely about a year ago and am currently studying journalism in London.

I enjoy watching films and reading, especially old gothic novels and comic fantasy. Pretty apt with all the beautiful ruinous buildings in Ely!

I am in my twenties. I like walking by the cathedral and researching Ely's ghostly mysteries.
