History

It was first mentioned in 1244 as Elle. The etymology is unknown.[1] Ell developed in the Late Middle Ages along the Tungelroyse Beek.[2] It was part of the Imperial Abbey of Thorn, a tiny independent country, until 1794.[3]

The Catholic St Antonius Abt Church is a three aisled basilica-like church built in 1912 to replace a church from 1823. The tower was blown up in 1944, and the church was restored in 1946. In 1953, a new tower was added.[2]

Ell was home to 297 people in 1840.[3]
