Peterborough Cathedral, 2

Continuing our visit to Peterborough Cathedral...
Well, Mary Queen of Scots was buried here, by Old Scarlett,
but her son, James I, had her moved to Westminster Abbey

The Hedda Stone, kept near the altar, a relic of the earliest abbey on the site,
Medeshamstede, dated to 870 CE; shows people with halos

Rare dorsal view: more halos

Katherine of Aragon definitely is buried here; flowers still arrive daily from the
Spanish embassy


























Peterborough's clock, a relative youngster compared with
Wells or Salisbury

A few images from the painted ceiling...there are scores





















































Peterborough main square outside the cathedral grounds

Many pretty, mostly Georgian sights; ignore the cell tower...
