The Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire
(Click on an image for a larger version)
Peterborough Cathedral is known for its imposing Early English Gothic West Front (façade) which, with its three enormous arches, is without architectural precedent and with no direct successor. The appearance is slightly asymmetrical, as one of the two towers that rise from behind the façade was never completed (the tower on the right as one faces the building), but this is only visible from a distance.
George Eric Deacon Alcock (born 28 August 1912 Peterborough, Cambridgeshire - died 15 December 2000) was an English astronomer. He was one of the most successful visual discoverers of novae and comets.
