TAILIEUCHUNG - The Cathedral Church of Peterborough

Until the middle of the nineteenth century, Peterborough remained one of the most unchanged examples in the kingdom of the monastic borough. The place was called into existence by the monastery and was entirely dependent on it. The Abbot was supreme lord, and had his own gaol. He possessed great power over the whole hundred. And even after the See of Peterborough was constituted, and the Abbey Church became a cathedral, many of the ancient privileges were retained by the newly formed Dean and Chapter. They still retained the proclamation and control of the fairs; their officer, the high bailiff, was the returning officer at elections. | The Cathedral Church of Peterborough 1 The Cathedral Church of Peterborough Project Gutenberg s The Cathedral Church of Peterborough by .

If I have ventured to differ from some of these writers on various points I must appeal in justification to a careful and painstaking study of the Cathedral and its history during a residence at Peterborough of more than twenty years. My best thanks are due to Mr Caster of Peterborough for permission to incorporate with this account the substance of a Guide which I prepared for him published in 1893 and to Mr Robert Davison of London for his description of the Mosaic Pavement executed by him for the Choir.
