St John the Baptist is Peterborough's parish church. It was built in 1407 using materials from the previous church, once located on an area prone to flooding. The sexton of St John the Baptist buried two queens in the nearby Cathedral - Katherine of Aragon (1536) and Mary, Queen of Scots (1587). During the Commonwealth, the parish church narrowly escaped being demolished to provide materials for the repair of the cathedral. Its registers show, among other things, the devastation brought by plague between 1665-67. Extensive repairs were carried out in the 19th century, following the removal of its spire, for safety reasons, and the collapse of a portion of the tower in a gale. Among its many features are a fine south porch and a stunning east window.
