THE WEST FRONT OF THE PETERBOROUGH CATHEDRAL 



The visitor enters the precinct of this majestic religious edifice through a Gothic gateway, 

 seen in the right foreground. In form, proportion, and general effect, this west front is 

 perhaps unrivaled in Gothic architecture. Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII's unhappy queen, 

 is buried here.
