Brundage did an article arguing that the Ely courts were integral to the

As Thomas implies, the medieval Ely consistory court was always held in
Cambridge. It's one of the idiosyncracies of Ely diocese that the court
wasn't held in Ely, but in Cambridge.
FWIW,

From: Thomas Izbicki <[log in to unmask]>
> Jim Brundage has an interesting discussion of the concistory court
of
the Diocese of Ely in his book Medieval Canon Law (Longman, 1995).
The
"official-principal" resided in Cambridge & used the church of the
parish in which he resided for courtroom proceedings.
this stands to reason, if it were an itinerant court, going around on
a
"circuit" from village to village --the church would be the largest
space in a
village, i should think.
not the case for a cathedral town.
