On one of the side walls of Peterborough Cathedral are the colours of the Royal Anglian Regiment (the 2nd Battalion I think.)

In St Sprite’s Chapel are these memorials (left) to members of the King’s School Peterborough (Scola Regia Petraburgensis) who lost their lives in World War 2 and (right) to members of St Peter’s Training College who died in the Great War:-

Rolls of honour:-

There is also a memorial to Edith Cavell, the British nurse executed by the Germans in 1915 for helping Allied soldiers to escape:-

A curiosity in Peterborough Cathedral is this unusual clock.

It strikes every half an hour. Often enough I suppose for the monks to get their Lauds, Matins, Vespers and Compline right.

The clock itself:-

Just as a reminder, this is what Peterborough Cathedral looks like from outside:-

The day after Bletchley Park we visited Peterborough again.

Unlike last time, we managed to get to see the inside of Peterborough Cathedral, my photograph of which is here.

There’s a lot to see there – including a Boer War Memorial:-

O tempora! O mores!

A timber framed building in Peterborough; with statues – and a Pizza Express outlet.

Less incongruent in appearance is Peterborough’s Bishop’s Palace (which is not really curved as this is a stitch of two photos):-

Peterborough Cathedral, bathed in late evening sunlight:-

Another old building in Peterborough’s Cathedral precincts. Pity about the traffic cones and tape in front of it:-
