Map
The abbey church of Peterborough was founded in 655, and was destroyed by the Danes in 870. Reconstructed in 972, it was then burnt down by mistake in 1116. The present magnificent cathedral was started in 1118 and took more than 120 years to build. The cathedral suffered badly at the hands of Oliver Cromwell, but many of its unique features remain to be admired today.
