Peterborough Cathedral is one of the finest Norman cathedrals in England. Founded as a monastic community in 654 AD, it became one of the most significant medieval abbeys in the country, the burial place of two queens and the scene of Civil War upheavals.

Today the Cathedral is the most significant building in a diverse and growing city, a tourist destination and a venue for exhibitions, cultural events, meetings and receptions. At its heart it remains, what it has always been, a place of Christian prayerand worship, of ministry and mission; the 'Mother Church’ of the Diocese of Peterborough and the seat of the Bishop of Peterborough and all its other activities contribute to or are part of that wider purpose that is spelt out most fully in the Cathedral’svision and values document published in 2019 and found on our website.
