Peterborough Castle - the choir

Photograph of the interior of Peterborough Cathedral taken from inside the choir and looking towards the nave. In the foreground are the choir stalls and in the background, beneath a pointed arch, is the organ above the choir screen. Romanesque arches on the right.

Peterborough Cathedral was constructed between 1118 and 1237. It is typical of the Romanesque and Early English Gothic style of ecclesiastical architecture. The Cathedral organ seen in this photograph was replaced during the 1890's. This photograph is a carbon copy of the original albumen photograph. Carbon was a process that was less susceptible to fading, unlike an albumen print that is prone to discolouration over time.
