Peterborough Cathedral (formally the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew) is a Church of England cathedral in Northamptonshire, in the Soke of Peterborough area of the county. It is the seat of the Bishop of Peterborough. It was formerly the church of a Benedictine priory, becoming the cathedral of the diocese of Peterborough after the Dissolution. The present church largely dates from the 12th century. It is considered one of the most important 12th-century buildings in England to have remained largely intact, despite extensions and restoration. It is particularly known for its imposing Early English Gothic West Front with its three enormous arches. The cathedral is within the council area of Peterborough.
