Peterborough Cathedral Visit - 13th Dec
Weve been in Peterborough for the last week and have to say what a superb city it is. Great shops, friendly people and lovely small villages around which really add character to the area. We will be back!
The Cathedral is superb, one of the nicest we have visited this year. It was made even more interesting for the grave of Henry VIIIs 1st wife, Catherine of Aragon, and the fact that it was the initial burial place of Mary, Queen of Scots, before she was moved to Westminster Abbey. The display reminded me that Mary once landed at Workington, Cumbria (where I was born) before been taken to Carlisle Castle... and a board even mentions this.
A superb visit to a very interesting piece of British history. Worth a visit.
