St. Etheldreda's is active to this day and often used for Masses, baptisms, weddings, and funerals. Six elected commissioners manage the church and area. Because Etheldreda was often invoked for help with infections of the throat, the Blessing of the Throats is held annually at the chapel. Ely Palace is mentioned in two of Shakespeare's plays, Richard II and Richard III. The Catholic chapel at the United States Military Academy is modelled on St. Etheldreda's.

  • "We heard of the proposed sale of Ely Chapel, and sent an agent to bid. We paid £5,400, which was less than the value of the freehold ground on which it stands. The day after we had made the purchase, the clergyman of the Welsh congregation called on me to offer a considerable advance on the sum we had paid. 'Well, sir.' he said when I declined to sell, 'I am sorry we have lost the old place, but I am glad it has passed into your hands, for you will appreciate its beauty, and, I have no doubt, restore it in a way we should never do.'"
