Peterborough

Yesterday I went on an honors field trip to Peterborough. The main purpose of our visit was to see Peterborough cathedral, which was built in the 12th century. The inside of the cathedral was very impressive, especially the painted wooden ceiling. We also got to see the tomb of Catherine of Aragon, who was the first wife of Henry VIII and the original burial place of Mary Queen of Scots. It was cool to see these because we have been learning all about these people in our British Studies class.

Here's the cathedral! I don't have any pictures of the inside because I didn't feel like paying for a picture license.

This was in the center of town. After visiting the cathedral, we just walked around and looked at the shops.
