Peterborough Cathedral

We needed to go to the Passport Office in Peterborough today when we realised Mr Sk's passport didn't have enough time left on it for our trip to France!  Slight panic stations but the new passport is now safely in his hands so it was well worth the journey!  We had a very nice lunch in Cote to pass the time and then visited the Cathedral.

My main blip shows the painted ceiling in the nave.  Some info I've downloaded from the internet says:  The painted wooden ceiling dates from the first half of the 13th century and is the only one of its type surviving in Britain. It is the largest of only four wooden ceilings of this period surviving in the whole of Europe. It has been overpainted twice but retains its original style and pattern.  My extra shows a small part of the stone fan ceiling in the apse at the east end of the Cathedral.  

We were amused by all the Shaun the Sheeps standing around which the children were enjoying.  There was some competition involved re finding them all!
