     Bishop of Peterborough Cathedral .

.....we may a little guesse, and but guesse, at the surpassing beauty, and magnificent structure of it, by comparison with this place where we now dwell.
....such a goodly aspect to our sense has the large Theatre of this world, the roofe of Heaven over us, so fairly adorned, gilded, enamel'd; the Pavements of earth under us, so spread with Natures Carpets, of all colours pleasing to the eye; such spacious Seas, such sweet Springs and gliding Rivers; the Mountains so stately without pride; the Valleys so low without envy; the Woods so pleasant with their shade; the Fields and Meadows so delightsome and profitable; at this Spring time chiefly, when the clearness of the sky, and the warmth of the Air, helps our old Grandam Earth to spin and weave her Tapestry, and all the Trees to spread forth their Hangings; not to speak of the erected Townes, the sumptuous Cities and majesticall Palaces, the artificiall workes of mens hands; if there be a meer worldling that has mistaken his way, and is by the chance got to Church, such a description as this is enough to make him mistake his Heaven too, and take this World for it.....

Extract from the 'History of the See of Peterborough - King's Handbook to the Cathedral'......
A.D. 1639-1649, John Towers, who had been Dean of Peterborough. The 'great commission for draining the fens' was opened at Peterborough soon after this bishop's accession. The commissioners sat for some days in the great hall of the palace; and their decisions were henceforth known as 'Peterborough law.' The troubles of the civil war fell heavily on Bishop Towers, whose cathedral suffered more than any other in England from the fanatic soldiery. He was himself for some time in attendance on the King, and died in obscurity, 10th January 1648/9, 'twenty days before his great master King Charles.'
