Peterborough Cathedral
Founded by King Peada in
655AD this Cathedral has
had a catalogue of
tragic events down the
ages. It was destroyed
in 870 by the Danes,
rebuilt then burned down
in 1116 in an accidental
fire. Rebuilt again to
its present form between
1118 and 1238.
In the Civil war it
suffered significant
damage by Cromwell's men
and is home to the
graves of Mary Queen of
Scots and Katherine of
Aragon. Despite all of
this Peterborough
Cathedral still stands
and is one of the finest
churches in England.
