Excerpt from Peterborough Cathedral: A General, Architectural, and Monastic History The narrative, subsequent to the overthrow of Romanism, is briefer than that before it. There is this reason for the dilference. The Romanist always considered the church part of his religion: Hence, while he was true to himself, he took the same pride in it that the father takes in his own child. But to the Protestant the church became only a foster child. There was a legal but not a natural tie between them. The Protestant looked on the church as little other than his tent. It was a mere shelter from the seasons. It protected him from summer heats and winter forsts. He honored it as he honored wool and annel, but it was never an object of pride and ambition to him. Hence the connection, which between abbot and abbey had been close and affec tionate, became weak and indifferent between bishop and cathedral. There was no more interesting history of the building to trace out. The Protestant in the cathedral seemed like the shrimp in the shell of a lobster. He knew not how to occupy or to use his great usurped man sion. He could not even keep it together. Hence, till the recent efforts at restoration, the cathedral history of the English church was onlv a satirical record of neglect and decay.

Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... PETERBOROUGH CATHEDRAL THE towns and cities of England owe their origin to various causes. Some arose around the walls of great castles, some as trading centres or harbours, some clustered around the palace of a bishop, and others sheltered themselves beneath the shadow of a monastery. Peterborough, or Medeshamstede, is of this last class. It is a monastic town, and owes its existence to the great fenland Monastery of St. Peter, the minster church of which is now this beautiful Cathedral. Peada, the son of Panda, King of Mercia, first founded a monastery here in 654, of which Saxulph was the first abbot. The Pagan Danes came in 870 with fire and sword, and wrought fearful havoc in all this region, burning the holy house of Medeshamstede, and slaughtering the monks. For a hundred years the monastery lay in ruins; then came the religious revival under the rule of Dunstan and King Edgar. Monastic houses increased in number greatly, and Bishop Ethelwold of Winchester began to rebuild the waste places of the ruined Saxon Medeshamstede, and constructed a minster, some foundations of which still remain. The Abbey flourished for nearly a century, but sad misfortunes befell. Hereward the Wake, the hero of Kingsley's story, the gallant "last of the English," was making his last brave stand against William the Norman, and in conjunction with the Danes attacked the Abbey, and wrought much destruction. Fires and robbers were also occasionally dread visitants, and at last, in the time of Henry I., a great fire destroyed the whole buildings. The then abbot was John de Sais, who set to work immediately to erect a new monastery. This was in 1117. Then was begun the glorious minster which is the pride and glory of the fenlands. Subsequent abbots continued...
