This tour is great for anyone making a day trip from London. We would meet you outside Peterborough Station (45 minutes from London) or indeed from anywhere else you might be travelling.
The site of Peterborough Cathedral was originally Roman, in the 7th century it became a monastic community though that was all but destroyed by the Great Heathen army under the splendidly named Ivar the Boneless. The current Peterborough Cathedral was built after the Norman conquest and seen of activity since then and two queens were buried here including Katherine of Aragon whose tomb we will visit.
From here we will make a short journey to the beautiful small town of Crowland which despite it’s modest size is home to two remarkable historical places of interest.
The first of which is Crowland Abbey with its picturesque ruins and often dramatic history. Nearby is the unique medieval Trinity Bridge, said to be the biggest curiously in the country.

Though the site of Peterborough Cathedral was originally Roman, in the 7th century it became a monastic community though that was all but destroyed by the Great Heathen army under the splendidly named Ivar the Boneless. The current Peterborough Cathedral was built after the Norman conquest and seen of activity since then and two queens were buried here including Katherine of Aragon whose tomb we will visit as we explore this splendid old building.
In the middle of the large Cathedral Square is the Guildhall. In the middle of the large city square is the wonderful old Guildhall. Built originally in 1671 it has served as both a market and a townhall. A farmers market is still held here regularly along with many over events in the square. It's a wonderful old building and sat next to beautiful old medieval church.

As a huge Tudor and Henry VIII fan I was overwhelmed to visit the resting place of Henry VIII’s first wife Catherine of Aragon .. Such a fabulous tour , Stephen is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his history .. the most enjoyable day thank you x

5.00Came to Peterborough with friends and visited the Cathedral. ENTRY IS FREE but in lieu can leave a donation in the box provided on your way out. Steeped in history and if you walk to the back section of the church this is an addition to the original building...took our breath away. The ceilings, architecture is amazing. The inner peace felt was awesome. So worth a visit
