Captital Projects 

King's Ely occupies over 100 buildings from every century since the 1100s across its 750-acre site.  

The costs associated with keeping this historic estate up to modern standards are considerable and there are a number of opportunities available both to support major renovations of existing buildings and to give towards a number of iconic new developments.
