Our Community



Peterborough Cathedral is extremely fortunate to be supported by a committed and passionate community made up of our valuable staff, congregation, benefactors and trustees.

The day to day life of the Cathedral is governed by the Chapter. The Chapter consists of three Residentiary Canons and four lay members appointed by the Bishop.

Currently these are:

Residentiary Canons

Canon Precentor Bruce Ruddock
Canon Pastor Jonathan Baker
Archdeacon of Oakham, The Venerable David Painter

Lay members:

Sir John Parsons (also Cathedral Treasurer)
Mr John Martin MBE
Mrs Sally Trotman
Mr Michael Opperman
