A glorious Romanesque cathedral, orginally an abbey, with Katherine of Aragon's tomb and spectacular roofs.
Beautiful place to visit and great day out. Very impressive and interesting building to see. Summer picnic place.
A wonderful cathedral steeped in history the ceilings have to be seen and the grounds are beautiful with a large grass area where you can sit eat relax
The beauty and history of this site is must for any visit to the Peterborough area. The displays inside chronicle the timeline of the cathedral and offer much information; the architectural detail is jaw-dropping. Located just off the Bridge Street pedestrian mall, access is very convenient. Allow yourself enough time to make a leisurely visit...a couple of hours, easily. Note that there is a small fee for taking photos inside the cathedral.
If you enjoy a good cathedral then this is one of the best. Tastefully restored after some fire damage there is not much more to say.
A lovely cathedral, with the most amazing ceilings. The tomb of Katherine of Aragon (Henry VIII's first wife) is here, and Mary Queen of Scots was originally buried here before being translated to Westminster Abbey. Some lovely carvings, with evidence of those naughty iconoclasts - Cromwell's army. Plus some quite unusual 'modern' alabaster and marble tombs.They do hope you'll give a donation - after all, you're visiting it as a museum and it does have huge maintenance costs. Which is why you're offered an envelope to make a donation. There's also a little cafe so you can enjoy a sit down and cuppa during your visit, helping to raise funds at the same time.Well worthwhile making a visit.
Magnificent . Burial place of Catherine of Aragon and original burial place of Mary Queen of Scots. Many interesting displays.
The presecint is neatly tucked away from the grim chip vans of the main street, the the eye is drawn to gothic frontage. Inside it is a masterpiece of the Romanesque, and it spost-refformation simplicity diminishes nonw of the splendour. Charges are optional, but come on, it's got to be paid for!
I found the cathedral to be absolutely lovely, especially the ceiling, which was particularly gorgeous!
Its a excelent place.I like too much to walk around the church and the church is amazing. its very big the cathedral. You can attend Mass and see the very different style than in other countries .
