Peterborough Cathedral
Peterborough Cathedral (the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew) is a major medieval church in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, notable for its unique Great West Front and long Norman-Gothic nave. Founded in the Anglo-Saxon period and rebuilt in the 12th–13th centuries, it later acquired a rectangular 'New Building' with Perpendicular vaulting at the east end and functioned as a large Benedictine abbey church before becoming a cathedral.

What Peterborough Cathedral looked like in its prime.
Massive Early English Gothic west façade of pale Barnack limestone dominated by three enormous arches and three high gables with statues, a sequence of four towers and spires rising behind; a long Norman-Gothic nave of clustered stone columns and arcades, pierced by clerestory windows, with a decorated painted wooden ceiling above; a central tower at the crossing; and a late medieval rectangular eastern 'New Building' with Perpendicular fan vaulting finished in pale ashlar.
