Take the "Highlights" tour
Peterborough Cathedral的点评
点评：We visited on a Friday morning, parking in the large Car Haven Car Park and walking 450m to the Cathedral via St. Peters Road. On entering the Close, one is greeted by the enormous West Front, completed in 1238 in Early English Gothic style, dominated by three huge arches, and much wider than the rest of the mostly Norman design Cathedral that hides behind it. The West door leads directly into the Nave with its three vertical levels and amazing painted wooden ceiling, which dates from the first half of the 13th century and is the only one of its type surviving in Britain. Turning about, one is introduced to two portraits of one of the Cathedral’s most famous people, Robert Scarlett (“Old Scarlett”), the Sexton for many of his 98 years, and who buried two Queens in the Cathedral before he was buried there himself in 1594. Peterborough Cathedral has little stained glass and few monumental sculptures, so thorough a job did Oliver Cromwell’s soldiers do when ordered to ransack the building in 1643. Indeed, it is remarkable that the Cathedral survived because much of its lead was looted, and masonry carted off. Fortunately the stunning early 16th Century fan vaulting in the New Building survived, and Cathedral repairs and restoration began during the Restoration of the Monarchy in the 1660s and continued extensively in the 19th Century. One can take a one-hour “Highlights” tour of the Cathedral for £6, and our capable guide Sue introduced us to the pomegranate-adorned grave of Katharine of Aragon (the first wife of Henry VIII), the memorial to Mary Queen of Scots (interred at Peterborough until 1612 before being moved to Westminster Abbey), and the Hedda Stone, which is the best preserved and largest Anglo-Saxon sculpture in the country (and a source of much speculation as to what it represents). If taking the tour, add another hour to explore the rest of the Cathedral.
翻译：我们周五早上参观了教堂，把车停在宽敞的Car Haven停车场，然后沿着圣彼得路步行450米到达。进入教堂内庭，映入眼帘的是宏伟的西立面，它建于1238年，为早期英国哥特式风格，以三个巨大的拱门为主，比隐藏在其后的以诺曼式设计为主的大教堂其他部分要宽阔得多。西门直接通往教堂中殿，中殿拥有三层垂直的楼层和令人惊叹的彩绘木质天花板，其历史可以追溯到13世纪上半叶，是英国唯一幸存的此类建筑。转过身来，我们会看到大教堂最著名的人物之一罗伯特·斯卡利特（“老斯卡利特”）的两幅肖像。他在位 98 年，大部分时间都担任教堂司事，并在 1594 年自己下葬之前，将两位女王埋葬在大教堂。彼得伯勒大教堂几乎没有彩色玻璃和纪念性雕塑，奥利弗·克伦威尔的士兵在 1643 年奉命洗劫这座建筑时做得非常彻底。事实上，大教堂能够幸存下来已经很了不起了，因为里面的大部分铅都被洗劫一空，砖石也被运走了。幸运的是，新建筑中令人惊叹的 16 世纪早期扇形拱顶幸存了下来，大教堂的修缮和修复始于 17 世纪 60 年代君主制复辟时期，并在 19 世纪继续进行。只需6英镑，即可参加大教堂“亮点”之旅，时长一小时。我们经验丰富的导游苏带我们参观了凯瑟琳·德·阿拉贡（亨利八世的第一任妻子）用石榴装饰的坟墓、苏格兰玛丽女王的纪念碑（一直安葬在彼得伯勒，直到1612年才移至威斯敏斯特教堂），以及海达石。海达石是英国保存最完好、规模最大的盎格鲁-撒克逊雕塑（人们对其含义的猜测也由此而来）。如果您参加此行程，请额外预留一小时时间，以便探索大教堂的其他部分。
