About This Book

A detailed architectural and historical study of the cathedral at Peterborough examines its fabric and development from early monastic origins to its later diocesan role. The text surveys exterior and interior features — west front, towers, nave, choir, transepts, vaulting, fittings, stained glass and monuments — and is supported by plans, drawings and photographs. Separate chapters describe the precincts and monastic buildings and consider the church's relationship with the surrounding town. Documentary material, notes and lists of officeholders provide practical reference for visitors and students of ecclesiastical architecture.
