Excerpt: Alan of Walsingham (aka Alan de Walsingham, died c.1364) was an English architect, first heard of in 1314 as a junior monk at Ely, distinguished by his skill in goldsmith 's work, and for his acquaintance with the principles of mechanics.

At the same time he was engaged in the erection of Prior Crauden's Chapel, the new sacristy, and many minor works. In December 1321, he was elected sacristan, with sole charge of the fabric of the cathedral. In February 1322, the great tower of the Ely Cathedral fell, and destroy the choir and other attached portions of the structure.
