Peterborough Cathedral

The Hedda Stone or Monk's Stone. One of the few remains of the Anglo Saxon Church, this 8th century carving shows Christ, the virgin Mary and the ten disciples.











































Katharine of Aragon was buried here in 1536.

Here is more information from Wikipedia

(There is more to the story than what I have posted here and it is worth a read as it is very interesting!)

Katharine of Aragon was the Queen of England as the first wife of Henry VIII of England. Henry's attempt to have their 24-year marriage annulled set in motion a chain of events that led to England's break with the Roman Catholic Church. Henry was dissatisfied with the marriage because all their sons had died in childhood, leaving only one of their six children, Princess Mary (later Queen Mary I) as heiress presumptive, at a time when there was no established precedent for a woman on the throne. When Pope Clement VII refused to annul the marriage, Henry defied him by creating the Anglican Church so that he could marry Anne Boleyn anyway, in the hope of fathering a male heir to the Tudor dynasty.
