The Cathedral's core purpose is to share the love of God in Christ Jesus, affirming life in all its fullness and drawing people into relationship with him.

Peterborough Cathedral is one of the finest Norman cathedrals in England. Founded as a monastic community in 654 AD, it became one of the most significant medieval abbeys in the country, the burial place of two queens and the scene of Civil War upheavals.

The governance of the Cathedral is regulated by statute, as required by the Cathedrals Measure 1999. It has a Mission and Development Plan for the period 2017-2020.

Peterborough Cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Peterborough and a focus for unity and growth in the Diocese of Peterborough.
