Americans - TOUR Peterborough Cathedral

[@CollieDog24]

My wife is from Peterborough,and used to live over in Westwood,unfortunately we are in South Cheshire now. I watch another American on YT and he is really into old buildings and old churches, they both have roots in england and ireland and plan to come over in the near future.

[@captaintorch983]

Just to update your wife Duncan. East of England Showground now a housing estate, Greyhounds and Speedway gone, no major shops in Queensgate (J.Lewis, M&S, Beales shut). The city is empty and soulless! You are fortunate to be in S. Cheshire.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

How cool! We loved sharing this wonderful tour with you. Hopefully, they get to come over an explore. Thank you for watching and leaving us this wonderful comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@captaintorch983]

I wish I had known, you could have called in for tea and biscuits. Yes it is a fine cathedral. My late wife and I loved the Christmas concerts there. Sadly, there is literally nothing else to see in Peterborough. x

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Friend, next time we come into town, we will let you know! We can meet for lunch. How wonderful would that be? It hope you have a wonderful weekend. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@gillianrimmer7733]

After the Cathedral, you should have driven down the A1 for about 20 mins and visited our beautiful town of Stamford. We are a small market town, but have 5 medieval churches and a medieval hospital, as well as hundreds of listed buildings all in the town centre.

One of my favorite Cathedrals, so much history...

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was such a fantastic Cathedral! We are so thankful that we have such wonderful people that we have met thanks to our youtube channel. We are so thankful that we were able to take you along with us. Thank you so much for your support and time watching our video. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

It never ceases to amaze me as to how they designed, carved, built these many structures. They range from Castles, Cathedrals and Churches to name just a few. Our country and Europe are covered in them. They really had skill, no computers just paper and pencil and muscle.

[@lawrenceglaister4364]

All down to the old grey matter

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It is so wonderful to see how skilled and just how much intricate detail these wonderful churches and cathedrals and castles have. It's such a magnificent sight and a joy to be able to learn and explore. Thank you for your time watching. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@claregale9011]

Beautiful, can't get enough of old cathedrals just stunning , Canterbury, sailsbury and yorkminster are all amazing too , thanks for the tour 😊❤.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Same! I completely agree it is just so magnificent to be able to enjoy them all. We truly appreciate and will definitely try to check them out. Thank you so very much. We appreciate your time! Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@paulinejackson8105]

The old Cathedrals are so beautiful, i love old buildings with history .

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Same, I completely agree with you! It's just so magical to be able to look back into history in the present day. Thank you so much for your comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@MrDunkycraig]

This is my home town and thats our big selling point. Imagine only a hundred years ago Peterborough was a tiny market town on the edge of the Fens! Which was basically a swamp and below sea level all the way east to the coast until it was drained and became prime farmland. Did you get to see flag fen the bronze age settlement on our eastern city limit?

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It is amazing what a hundred years can change. We did not get to see the bronze age settlement, maybe next time we are around that way. Cheers, Chris

[@TheGuvzilla]

Was a pleasure to show you guys round, glad you enjoyed it. Come back when there is no choir practicing (sorry I didn’t know that was happening that day) and I will give you a ground floor tour as well.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was such an amazing tour! We appreciate your time. I (Jess) was so jealous I couldn't be there. Friend, you are a rockstar. We will definitely make more plans with you for lunch and drinks! Cheers 🤍 Jess & Chris x

[@gillcawthorn7572]

The BBC did a very good adaptation of Anthony Trollope`s `Barchester Towers` books back in (probably) the 1970s, in which the filming for the fictional Barchester Cathedral was done here at this cathedral . Very beautiful . Maybe there will be something here on KZbin ,if I can find it .

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Oh, thank you so much. We really appreciate you letting us know and sharing with us. We hope you have a wonderful weekend. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

What great memories to have with you when you go back to the USA. Thank you for sharing this. Hopefully, the weather will soon improve and get warmer.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Yes , I completely agree! We are so glad we were able to share this with you and take you along with us. We definitely love sharing our fun adventures and lives with you all. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

Aaah the Jewel in Peterboroughs crown. btw.. It's pronounced Peader Burrah ! A long time ago our little video club (just 4 of us) made a (ghost) video and shot some of the scenes in the Cathedrals grounds. We made that "Berkeley Square" street sign and hoped it would stick to the wall whilst we filmed the scene !! Do you recognise the area ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qomrpWqVms6ca68si=PcS3rHck5NeV1Y2d&t=528

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you so very much. We absolutely love that you came along with us. I know I definitely try my best to pronounce these things correctly, and sometimes, I fail miserably. 🫣 Thank you so much for the recommendation. We will change that out! We appreciate you coming along with us and leaving us this wonderful comment. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@andykenny5674]

Lovely video! It’s great to be a small part of your adventures in the U.K. 😊 You mentioned visiting The New Forest and Jurassic Coast at some point in a previous video - May I thoroughly recommend the following attraction in The New Forest for a floral fireworks display that will dazzle you… I cut and pasted this from Exbury Gardens’ website… “When is the best time to visit Exbury to see the rhododendrons and azaleas? Our collection of rhododendrons and azaleas is spectacular in late April and throughout May. Flowering does extend into June with late-flowering rhododendrons and deciduous azaleas taking the limelight during early summer.”

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are so glad that we get to exploring this beautiful country. Also, to have you come along with us for our wonderful adventures here. Thank you so very much for the wonderful recommendation! We appreciate your kindness. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

Very impressive tour. I visited the cathedral many years ago and walked around the ground floor. I should have opted for a tour. As always, thanks for sharing.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you! It was such a cool experience for the family. We appreciate your kindness and support. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@raymondporter2094]

Thanks for the tour, which I enjoyed. I can remember visiting both Ely and Peterborough Cathedrals when I was a studemt at Cambridge. Have you visited/done a video of Cambridge?

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Oh, fabulous! We're so happy you enjoyed the tour. Thank you for your lovely support. We appreciate it so much! We haven't just yet soon, though. Cheers 🤍 Jess & family x

[@raymondporter2094]

@@DaydreamersBarn You will LOVE Cambridge and it would probably be better to visit there in the summer months (late June/July/August/to mid September when most of the undergraduate students have gone home). A walk along The Backs from Silver Street takes you along the River (Cam) banks past Queens' College, St Catherine's, King's, Clare and on to Trinity Hall, Trinity, St John's and finally to Magdalen Colleges. In the summer you will find it easier to access the colleges, but if you went from Silver Street past the Anchor Pub and Queens', you could go straight on at the junction onto Sidgwick Road and on past Newnham College and the Sidgwick (Arts) Site, and Selwyn College is on your right hand side. If you go into the Sidgwick Site there is a gate that leads you into Selwyn College gardens and into the Old Court with its Chapel. Selwyn doesn't charge people to look around its courts and, if you are lucky, the canteen may be open in Hall. Cambridge is well worth a full day to visit. You don't HAVE to go only to the magazine-cover central colleges like King's with its Chapel, John's or Clare (which in any event often charge an entrance fee) because there are other places of beauty to see - Selwyn which I have already mentioned, the Round Church, the University Church (Great St Mary's) and Emmanuel College for example (John Harvard after whom Harvard University is named, he was an alumnus of Emmanuel). Many of the College Chapels are really beautiful. A punt along the Cam (do-it-yourself or hire a chauffeur/guide to do the punting) will show The Backs and many of the Colleges. If you DO go there, it is a small, walkable city and cars are not really welcome near the centre. It would pay to look it up on the web first. A few years ago, all the best three ranked universities in the world were all in Cambridge: Harvard and MIT and the "original" Cambridge. I am glad you are enjoying your time in the UK and I hope your family is feeling welcomed here.

JFI "The rood screen was a physical and symbolic barrier, separating the chancel, the domain of the clergy, from the nave where lay people gathered to worship. It was also a means of seeing; often it was solid only to waist height and richly decorated with pictures of saints and angels." Traditionally, the very rich (Lords & Ladies) or their ancestors had paid enough in the building of a church or cathedral to sit on the chancel side of the rood screen - with the saints and angels... I'm REALLY impressed with the internal roof structure and pulleys etc

When I visit these cathedrals, castles or priory's, I can't get my head around how they did it without computers, crane's, trucks or calculation device's. Our ancestors were true beasts.

It is wild to think what it must have taken. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Chris and Jess.

Perhaps you will find time to visit our Cathedral here in Norwich, the closest to where you are stationed I believe. You could certainly spend an hour exploring its beauty.

Acid rain I think

Hi, I mentioned acid rain and the effect it has on the stone of the building. We have a display of stone affected by pollution as part of the tour.
