Peterborough Cathedral and the Final Resting Place of Katherine of Aragon

Here is a show notes page accompanying this on-location podcast episode, recorded at Peterborough Cathedral in Cambridgeshire. The final episode in my three-part series to commemorate Katherine of Aragon, we discover beautiful Peterborough Cathedral, the site of Katherine's grave. Katherine is remembered there not just as Henry VIII’s discarded wife, but as a dignified, resilient woman who stood by her faith and status to the very end.
