English Cathedrals - Peterborough- arches of the Nave - Three tiers of arches in Nave. Part of Box 144 Boswell Collection - English Cathedrals. Peterborough Cathedral, properly the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew ? also known as Saint Peter's Cathedral in the United Kingdom ? is the seat of the Bishop of Peterborough, dedicated to Saint Peter, Saint Paul and Saint Andrew, whose statues look down from the three high gables of the famous West Front. Although it was founded in the Anglo-Saxon period, its architecture is mainly Norman, following a rebuilding in the 12th century. With Durham and Ely Cathedrals, it is one of the most important 12th-century buildings in England to have remained largely intact, despite extensions and restoration.
