Lovely choral voices they brought back a lot of Peterborough. I used to live in nearby Burghly Road ,and used to go to carol concerts in the cathedral in the 1980's before I emigrated to New Zealand.
This much-neglected (by tourists!) cathedral is - after Durham and Ely - the greatest glory of Romanesque architecture in England. Thank God for the Norman Conquest: it is the reason that only England, among the constituent countries of the United Kingdom, has a collection of cathedral-churches which rank with those of the rest of Europe. I, too, used to live in Peterborough; but visited the cathedral too little, because it was during the 'Time-of-AIDS' and Christianity (with its teachings on purity and contamination) was disgusting to me.

We visited Peterborough Cathedral when we were in England in 1995. It's nice to hear their Evensong.
