An architectural history of Peterborough Cathedral

Construction of the Romanesque fabric may be broken into three distinct campaigns: (1) the choir, eastern transept aisles and parts of the nave can be dated to 1107-16; (2) the apse, terminal and western transept walls were begun in 1118 and completed c. 1132; and (3) the clerestory (apart from that of the apse) and most of the nave were built from c. 1132-c.1180. These three campaigns represent what can be broadly characterized as an English style, followed by a more Norman design and culminating in the nave where the two traditions are fused.

  • "Peterborough is also well known for its unusual Gothic west front. Study of this part of the building has clarified several aspects of its lengthy construction and design changes and has established a connection between the final design and the Palm Sunday ritual observed at the monastery. The later addition of the Perpendicular porch can also be understood in terms of this ritual which is known from the two surviving volumes of the abbey's Customary."@en
  • "A re-evaluation of Peterborough's chronology, sources and stylistic development has been undertaken based on a detailed analysis of the archeological evidence of the building as well as an investigation of the history of the monastic community. The latter is possible due to the survival of a Latin and an Anglo-Saxon chronicle from Peterborough. The results of stylistic and archeological analysis suggest that construction of the Romanesque fabric began earlier than the generally accepted date of 1118. An earlier date is supported by information from the chronicles which record a period of stability and building activity in the abbey under Abbot Ernulf (1107-14)."@en
  • "Peterborough Cathedral, formerly a Benedictine abbey church, is frequently cited as a prime example of both English Romanesque and Gothic architecture. The former refers to the choir, transepts, and nave of the church and the latter to the facade and retrochoir. The building has not received detailed study since the early twentieth century."@en
