English Cathedrals - Peterborough Cathedral
English Cathedrals - Peterborough Cathedral - Open nave with pulpit, bishops chair in distance. Part of Box 144 Boswell Collection - English Cathedrals. Peterborough Cathedral, properly the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew also known as Saint Peters Cathedral in the United Kingdom is the seat of the Bishop of Peterborough, dedicated to Saint Peter, Saint Paul and Saint Andrew, whose statues look down from the three high gables of the famous West Front. Although it was founded in the Anglo-Saxon period, its architecture is mainly Norman, following a rebuilding in the 12th century. With Durham and Ely Cathedrals, it is one of the most important 12th-century buildings in England to have remained largely intact, despite extensions and restoration. Date: circa 1900

Step back in time with this evocative image of the open nave of Peterborough Cathedral, a magnificent architectural masterpiece located in England. Properly known as the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew, this religious edifice is renowned for its historical significance and stunning Norman architecture. The photo, taken circa 1900, showcases the cathedral's impressive nave, where the congregation once gathered for worship. The pulpit, positioned at the front, is a testament to the cathedral's rich history, while the bishop's chair, visible in the distance, underscores its ecclesiastical importance. Founded in the Anglo-Saxon period, Peterborough Cathedral has undergone numerous transformations throughout the centuries. However, its most notable changes occurred during the 12th century, when it was rebuilt, resulting in the largely intact structure we see today. This architectural marvel, along with Durham and Ely Cathedrals, stands as one of the most significant 12th-century buildings in England that has remained largely unaltered. With its three high gables adorned with the statues of Saints Peter, Paul, and Andrew, Peterborough Cathedral is a captivating symbol of England's rich religious heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and history of this magnificent cathedral.
