With Durham and Ely Cathedrals, Peterborough Cathedral is one of the most important 12th-century buildings in England to have remained largely intact, despite extensions and restoration.
Peterborough Cathedral is known for its imposing Early English Gothic West Front (façade) which, with its three enormous arches, is without architectural precedent and with no direct successor. The appearance is slightly asymmetrical, as one of the two towers that rise from behind the façade was never completed (the tower on the right as one faces the building), but this is only visible from a distance.
It is believed that Peterborough Cathedral originally had a set of over thirty misericords dating from the fourteenth century. However, only three now survive.

England 2019 Episode 07: Peterborough
Along with the cathedrals in Durham and Ely, Peterborough Cathedral is one of the most important 12th c. buildings in England. It is dedicated to Saint Peter, after whom the town is also named and whose statue looks down from the peak of the remarkable Early English Gothic west facade.
The painted ceiling, completed between 1230-1250, is unique in Britain and one of only four such ceilings in the whole of Europe. Unlike the ceiling in Ely Cathedral which was purely a Victorian creation, Peterborough's ceiling is authentically a 13th c. design which has been faithfully restored twice over the centuries. The wonderful fan vaulting in the cathedral's new section dates to circa 1500.
Henry VIII's former wife, Katherine of Aragon, was buried here in 1536. Her grave is still honored by visitors who decorate it with flowers and pomegranates, Katherine's symbol. Her tomb carries the designation Queen of England, a title she was denied at the time of her death. The original tomb was destroyed during the English Civil War but Katherine's body was left undisturbed. Then in 1893, a newspaper invited all of its readers named Katherine to each donate a penny which paid for the marble slab we see today.
Behind the altar is the Hedda Stone, one of the oldest relics in the church. This rustic carving dates back to the Anglo-Saxon monastery which occupied this site long before the Norman church was built. Founded in 655, the monastic settlement was one of the first centers of Christianity in central England and lasted a little over 200 years until it was destroyed by Vikings. The carvings depict 12 figures, 6 on each side, probably representing Christ and various early saints.
Peterborough's market square is located a short distance west of the cathedral, presided over by the medieval Guild Hall and the 15th c. St John the Baptist Parish Church.
A couple items in the photo montage at the end of the video merit further explanation...
The medieval monks of Peterborough Abbey had to keep track of time in order to observe the various services dictated by the Rule of Saint Benedict. Accordingly they constructed a clock mechanism which dates to circa 1450. It lacks a typical clock face but chimed every half hour. The contraption was modified several times over the centuries and continued in use until 1950, finally being retired on its 500th anniversary.
At the end of the video is a portrait of Old Scarlett, the cathedral sexton and gravedigger who buried Katharine of Aragon in 1536, as well as Mary Queen of Scots in 1587. He also laid to rest multiple generations from every household in Peterborough in the course of his 98 year lifespan (1496 - 1594). It is rare that a commoner would be memorialized inside a cathedral, but Peterborough made an exception for this beloved local character. His portrait shows him holding his shovel and keys.
