St John The Baptist Church Peterborough

“St John the Baptist Church is a Grade I listed Church of England parish church in the city of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England.

The present St John the Baptist Church is situated in Cathedral Square and is only a few minutes walk away from Peterborough Cathedral. This seemingly strange state of affairs is due to the fact that the cathedral was for the monks and the church for the townspeople. It is officially designated as Peterborough’s parish church and, as such, its vicar bears the title of the Vicar of Peterborough. There are several other Anglican churches throughout the city.

The original parish church, dating from the 11th century, was some distance to the east of the current location, on the site now occupied by Bishop Creighton Academy. When the centre of Peterborough moved west, the church was relocated stone by stone.[1] Construction of the current church began in 1402[2] and it was dedicated to St John the Baptist on 26 June 1407″
