Peterborough Cathedral

The first abbey was founded in 655 and became the focal centre for evangelising an area as far south as Woking in Surrey and north to Repton in Derbyshire. It has survived the ravages of the Danes in the 9th century, the conquest of King William the Conqueror in the 12th century and the English Civil War of the 17th century.  Towering majestically above the city centre stands the third abbey, founded in 1118, now the Cathedral Peterborough.

This beautiful building keeps guard over the town’s bustling city centre and bears testament to the many fascinating events which have taken place over the centuries. The Cathedral’s West Front is breathtaking and the building as a whole is one the finest examples of Norman architecture in Europe
