Peterborough Cathedral

West Front

Peterborough Cathedral is Norman and is famous for its West Front, its spectacular 13th century nave with painted ceilings, and the later addition with its fan vaulted ceiling.  It is also famous for its inhabitants - Katherine of Aragon is buried there; Mary Queen of Scots was also buried there  but was moved to Westiminster when her son became King.

Chorus arriving for Evensong Service

As I was touring, the organist was practicing and the change ringers were dinging as well.

I didn't stay for the Evensong service, but as I was leaving I saw the choir in their billowing robes (it was really windy) arriving in the distance.   I have been to this service elsewhere and the choir does make a grand entrace, but I don't know if it is always from the outside since I have always been seated inside.

At the loo I saw this interesting sign.  I knew that cities had foreign partners, but toilet twinning?!
