Peterborough Cathedral

Plan

Peterborough Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Peter, Saint Paul and Saint Andrew, and is very unusual amongst mediæval cathedrals in Britain because of its triple front (dominated by the statues of the three saints) and overall asymmetrical appearance.

History

Saxon origins

The original church was founded as Medeshampstede Abbey by King Peada of Mercia in 655 as one of the first centres of Christianity in central England.^[1] The monastic settlement with which the church was associated lasted until it was destroyed by Vikings in 870. In the mid 10th century monastic revival (in which Ely Cathedral and Ramsey Abbey were also refounded) a Benedictine Abbey was created and endowed in 966 by Athelwold, Bishop of Winchester from what remained of the earlier abbey, with "a basilica [church] there furbished with suitable structures of halls, and enriched with surrounding lands" and more extensive buildings.^[2] It was dedicated to St Peter, and came to be called a burgh, hence the town surrounding the abbey was eventually named Peter-burgh. The community was further revived in 972 by Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury.^[1] Medeshampstede, the name in the Dark Ages of the city of Peterborough. ...

This event necessitated the building of a new church in the Norman style, begun by Abbot John de Sais in 1118.^[1] By 1193 the building was completed to the western end of the Nave, including the central tower and the decorated wooden ceiling of the nave. The ceiling, completed between 1230 and 1250, still survives. It is unique in Britain and one of only four such ceilings in the whole of Europe^[3] It has been over-painted twice, once in 1745, then in 1834, but still retains the character and style of the original.

Then, in completing the Western transept and adding the Great West Front Portico in 1237, the mediæval masons switched over to the new Gothic style. Apart from changes to the windows, the insertion of a porch to support the free-standing pillars of the portico and the addition of a ‘new’ building at the east end around the beginning of the 16th century, the structure of the building remains essentially as it was on completion almost 800 years ago.

In 1541, following Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries, the relics were lost but the church survived by being selected as the cathedral of the new Diocese of Peterborough. This may have been related to the fact that Henry's former queen, Catherine of Aragon, had been buried there in 1536. Her grave can still be seen, and is nowadays honoured by visitors and often decorated with flowers and pomegranates (her symbol). It carries the legend "Catharine the Queen", a title she was denied at the time of her death.

In 1883, extensive restoration work began, with the interior pillars, the central tower, the choir and the west front being completely rebuilt under the supervision of John Loughborough Pearson, and new hand-carved choir stalls, cathedra (bishop's throne) and choir pulpit and the marble pavement and high altar being added.

In the early evening of 22 November 2001 the cathedral was hit by a fire started deliberately amongst plastic chairs stored in the North Choir Aisle.^[6] Fortunately the fire was spotted by one of the vergers allowing a swift response by emergency services.^[7] The timing was particularly unfortunate as a complete restoration of the painted wooden ceiling was nearing completion.^[8] The oily smoke given off by the plastic chairs was particularly damaging, coating much of the building with a sticky black layer. The seat of the fire was close to the organ and the combination of direct damage from the fire, and the water used to extinguish necessitated a full-scale rebuild of the instrument, putting it out of action for several years.
