Unbelievable.

a tunnel is said to stretch for 11 miles beneath the Fens, between Lakenheath and Ely.

Ely Tunnels: https://www.hiddenea.com/cambse.htm

Local tales tell of an underground passage from Ely Cathedral (TL541803) to the King's Arms pub (TL540804) in St. Mary's Street. Another, less likely, is said run for nearly two miles from the Cathedral, south-east to Stuntney Old Hall (TL556785).

St. Audrey's Well:

St. Audrey (also known as Etheldreda - see Exning) died at Ely in 679AD, and was buried somewhere near the present St. Mary's church, which stands a few hundred metres west of the Cathedral. 16 years later her sister Seaxburh (Sexburga) disinterred her apparently incorrupt body and reburied it elsewhere. But at the first site of her burial a miraculous spring welled up which, for several centuries afterwards, was renowned for its healing qualities. One 12th century book describes how the waters cured one man of dropsy (edema), and a woman of blindness. (For another St. Audrey's Well, but without any healing powers, see under Ely in 'Other notable wells & springs'.)
